The Transporter Refueled


The Transporter Refueled
Another attempted franchise reboot, which does not appear to succeed. The hero is a former special-ops mercenary, now living a less perilous life, transporting classified packages for questionable people. When his father pays him a visit in the south of France, their father-son bonding weekend takes a turn for the worse when he is engaged by a cunning femme-fatale and her three seductive sidekicks to orchestrate the bank heist of the century. Now he must use his covert expertise and knowledge of fast cars, fast driving and fast women to outrun a sinister Russian kingpin, and worse than that, he is thrust into a dangerous game of chess with a team of gorgeous women out for revenge. This film is having a staggered release, with the IMAX and premier venues launching this week, and wide release next week. This is the standard release.

Tomatometer quote iconThe Transporter Refueled has little to offer beyond a handful of decent action sequences, leaving this reboot's title feeling more like wishful thinking than a restatement of purpose.
