Transporter (French: Le Transporteur) is a French action thriller film franchise, comprising four films released between 2002 and 2015, and a television series. Jason Statham plays Frank Martin in the first three movies, a professional freelance courier driver for hire. Statham, an accomplished martial artist, performed many combat scenes involving Frank Martin by himself. This permits the franchise's signature Hong Kong-style fight scenes, choreographed by Corey Yuen. Chris Vance portrayed Martin in the sequel television series and Ed Skrein portrays him in the fourth film, a reboot.

Frank Martin is the protagonist of the films and television series. He is portrayed as a former Special Forces operative who was a team leader of a search and destroy unit, with a military background including operations "in and out of" Lebanon, Syria and Sudan, as well as a recipient of the Bronze Star in the inaugural film. He retires from service after becoming fatigued and disenchanted with his superior officers, and utilizes his skills as a private driver for hire while maintaining an apparently legitimate life living off of his army pension. Frank Martin operates in accordance with a strict code of conduct, and expects his clients to adhere to his rules.

The character is portrayed with varied backgrounds in different media installments of the franchise. In the television series, it was revealed that he was orphaned as a child, who enlisted in the British Army as an adult and later transferred to Special Air Service. In the film, The Transporter Refueled, his father Frank Martin Sr. is a former British spy, who retired to work on his relationship with his son.

Inspector Tarconi plays an even more prominent role in this film. It is established that he and Frank are now friends, and Tarconi goes as far as to lie to the police to cover for Frank. His cooking prowess is established as well.

Frank has been pressured into transporting Valentina (Natalya Rudakova) the kidnapped daughter of Leonid Vasilev (Jeroen Krabb), the head of the Environmental Protection Agency for Ukraine, from Marseille through Stuttgart and Budapest until he ends up in Odesa on the Black Sea. Along the way, with the help of Inspector Tarconi (Franois Berland), Frank has to contend with the people who strong armed him to take the job, agents sent by Vasilev to intercept him, and the general non-cooperation of his passenger, who he realises is the package midway through the film. Despite Valentina's cynical disposition and Frank's resistance to getting involved, Frank and Valentina fall for each other, while escaping from one life-threatening situation after another.

In May 2013, at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, a new reboot trilogy was announced with EuropaCorp and China's Fundamental Films co-producing and distributing the titles.[1][2] The films will likely be budgeted between $30 million to $40 million each and at least one will be shot in China.[3] Luc Besson will co-finance, distribute, produce and write all the films.[4] English actor Ed Skrein replaced Jason Statham as Frank Martin on the fourth installment of the series.[5] The fourth film, The Transporter Refueled, was released in the United States on 4 September 2015 with Camille Delamarre directing.

The Hollywood Reporter reported in 2013 that EuropaCorp and Fundamental Films will co-finance, produce, and distribute three future installments in the Transporter franchise. The projects would be budgeted from $30 million to $40 million; at least one of the films was likely to be set in China.[7] However, in 2022 ScreenRant reported that Jason Statham passed on the planned new trilogy.[8]

Transporter: The Series is a television series based on the Transporter films which premiered in 2012 on 11 October in Germany on RTL, and on 6 December in France on M6. Chris Vance took over the role of Frank from Jason Statham and was joined by Hungarian actress Andrea Osvrt, who played Carla, the leading female role in the series,[9] starring as a former Intelligence agent who organises his missions, and French actor Franois Berland, the only returning actor from the film series, who reprised his role as Inspector Tarconi.[10]

The Transporter (French: Le Transporteur) is a 2002 English-language French action film directed by Cory Yuen from a screenplay by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. The film was inspired by the short film series The Hire. It is the first installment in the Transporter franchise and stars Jason Statham, alongside Shu Qi, Franois Berland, Matt Schulze, and Ric Young. In the film, Frank Martin, a British mercenary driver living in France, finds himself involved in a people smuggling plot.

The film was cut to receive a PG-13 rating in the United States, and this version was also released in the United Kingdom and several other countries. Japan and France received the uncut versions. Certain sequences of violence were either cut or toned down for the PG-13 cut. These include:

The Japanese region-free Blu-ray cut of this film has the original uncut French version of the film. It also has several special features and deleted scenes. However, it does not include the North American special feature of the uncut fight scenes (with no sound). The uncut version of Transporter 2 is also included in this special boxed set.

The DVD version was released on 15 April 2003. It included fifteen minutes of extended fight scene footage and a feature-length commentary. On 23 August 2005, the film was released again in a "Special Delivery Edition". This version included all the features of the original release plus a new behind-the-scenes documentary, a making-of featurette, and a storyboard-to-film comparison. The film was also released as a part of "The Transporter Collection", which featured the first two films in the series. A Blu-ray format was released on 14 November 2006.

Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 54% based on 128reviews, with an average rating of 5.6/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "The Transporter delivers the action at the expense of coherent storytelling."[8] At Metacritic, the film received a weighted average score of 51 out of 100, based on 27 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[9] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.[10]

And it does, in a chase sequence that is sensationally good, but then aren't all movie chase scenes sensationally good these days? There have been so many virtuoso chase sequences lately that we grow jaded, but this one, with the car bouncing down steps, squeezing through narrow lanes and speeding backward on expressways, is up there with recent French chases like "Ronin" and "The Bourne Identity." The movie combines the skills and trademarks of its director, Corey Yuen, and its writer-producer, Luc Besson. The Hong Kong-based specialist in martial arts movies has 43 titles to his credit, many of them starring Jet Li and Qi Shu. This is his English-language debut. Besson, now one of the world's top action producers (he has announced nine films for 2003 and also has "Wasabi" in current release), likes partnerships between action heroes and younger, apparently more vulnerable women. Those elements were central in his direction of "La Femme Nikita," "The Professional" and "The Fifth Element." Now he provides Frank Martin with a young woman through the violation of Rule No. 3: Martin looks in the bag.

Frank Martin is an intriguing man in the opening scenes, and we think maybe we'll learn something about his harsh code and lonely profession. But no: We get car leaps from bridges onto auto transporters. Parachute drops onto the tops of moving trucks. Grenades, rocket launchers, machine guns (at one point a friendly inspector asks Martin to explain 50,000 spent rounds of ammo). There is of course an underwater adventure, tribute to Besson's early life as the child of scuba-diving instructors. At one point, Martin tells Lai, "It's quiet. Too quiet." It wasn't nearly quiet enough.

Either "Transporter 2" is wall to wall with absurd action, or it's not a sequel to "Transporter." And in fact the sequel is a better film than the original, as if writer-producer Luc Besson had a clearer idea of what he wanted to do (and didn't want to do); the direction is by Louis Leterrier, whose "Unleashed," released only three months ago, had that savage chemistry between a gangster (Bob Hoskins) and a fighter (Jet Li) he had raised like a dog. That movie was also written and produced by Luc Besson, who is the hardest-working man in show business. Look him up on IMDb.com if you want to feel tired just reading about his plans.

i agree, i get drawn to watching Ronin but im not sure why, Transporter was okay i guess, much the same though.




I thought of an idea for film set in France, but im writing my current one - its a shame you cant just pitch an idea to someone its kind of frustrating, actors can do a show real of about twenty or just a photo portfolio, with screenwriting you have to spend any thing upto a year writing a screenplay - sheesh.




But im still working on my first one which I much prefer, hopefully I can get someone to read it, if they like then i can tell them about this one.

Directing duties were split between Louis Leterrier as "artistic director", with Corey Yuen as action director, and The Transporter brings everything Hong Kong action fans love to a French setting. While The Transporter is never short for chases and fights, the movie's shipping container and bus station brawls were what left everyone buzzing, a foreboding, low-key guitar strum underlying Frank punching and kicking tidal waves of henchmen in containers, buses, and an oil spill. Statham had just come off of co-starring with Jet Li in The One the year prior, and if that film foretold Li and Statham's frequent collaborations, The Transporter established Statham as a grizzled, stubbly action hero with a predilection for gravelly one-liners and spinning kicks, and was an outstanding start to the series. e24fc04721
