Nothing stands out and nothing stays with you from this sequel. As for the rest of the production, it's standard. As for our supporting lady Natalya Rudakova, she's really awful and the movie really attempt to make her look as unappealing as possible. Statham acting is passable, Francois Berland is just as entertaining as ever, and Robert Knepper is great, but his character is poorly written. He does have some impressive fight scenes, unfortunately we also have Statham in chase scenes which don't look as cool and are poorly done. The cast is as likable as ever with Statham delivers everything you would expect from one of his movies. I'll buy Statham driving a car sideways between two trucks, but not if it's this unmotivated. The script is missing character development, excitement, and most importantly energy. With limited material you could expect a lot of filler, pointless dialogue, and unfortunately the characters themselves become boring. I don't think the audience would have mind skipping a pointless chase scene, Statham putting gas into his car, and a painfully slow striptease from Statham. Another thing I didn't expect from the third entry is to have over fifteenth pointless minutes of worthless scenes.
I doubt hearing a conversation about food and watching Jason Statham fishing is really what fans of "The Transporter" series want to see. The third entry obviously had little material and causes several problems. The Transporter 3 is about Frank Martin delivering the kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official. It's essentially more of the same, and that's not good for a franchise that isn't know for quality. While it may sound like a by-the-numbers action flick, THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED is a lot of fun (in a testosterone-fuelled, action flick kind of way).The Transporter 3 could go up on the list of sequels we didn't want mostly because it fails to deliver the entertainment we wanted from this series. With no choice but to agree, Frank transports Anna's team to a nightclub, where the patrons are gassed, Anna and her girls commit a high-tech cyber-crime and Frank gets in one almighty fight with the nightclub security team on their dinner break. The situation takes a turn for the personal when Frank discovers that his father (Ray Stevenson), who goes by the name “Frank Martin Snr.”, has been kidnapped by Anna and given a toxic drug that will need an antidote to stop Martin-the-elder from passing into the nether-realm. At first, Frank treats it as just another job, done by his rules (or else he walks away from the job.) Helping Anna and her friends pull a heist on an exclusive bank is just the beginning of his misadventures with a quartet of beauties making their former employees pay for their mistreatment, but incurring their collective Eastern European wrath at the same time. There's some justification for Skrein's character to want to protect his real name, as the wanton level of destruction he engages in with his souped-up Audi A8 is more than enough for him to be disqualified from driving anywhere in the world forever! Martin's troubles start when he is contracted to help the beautiful Anna (Loan Chabanol) in her efforts to escape her Russian Mafia overlords.
Given the relative lack of distance between THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED and the the Statham movies (7 years), it's fair to assume that "Frank Martin" must be some kind of code name that all Transporters use it protect their protagonist’s identities! In this latest version, viewers are introduced to Frank Martin (Ed Skrein) the name of the character played by Jason Statham in the original trilogy of films. THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED attempts to reboot a franchise that started strong with the original Jason Statham film in the early 2000s but fell away with successive sequels, the last of which graced cinema screens back in 2008.
