Fun action-thriller with Statham in his element. The car chases and fights were decent but would've been made better if not for the choppy editing. But all in all this was entertaining even though I've seen it a few times over the years. **3.75/5**
Former Special Forces officer Frank Martin will deliver anything to anyone for the right price, and his no-questions-asked policy puts him in high demand. But when he realizes his latest cargo is alive, it sets in motion a dangerous chain of events. The bound and gagged Lai is being smuggled to France by a shady American businessman, and Frank works to save her as his own illegal activities are uncovered by a French detective.

Critics & Reviews
2 featuredJason Statham's breakout movie. And it's the perfect vehicle for him. Let's face it in almost every movie Statham is just Statham, but that's ok, it's exactly what we want to see. This is basically Luc Besson's version of a Jackie Chan movie. And it really does work. Ok, the BMW bridge jump was nothing short of cringeworthy, but the rest of the movie is enjoyable enough that we can forgive that...just.
