Otherwise the writing seems quite outdated and low on polish. It seems other than the entire script, the writers have worked better on Frank Martin Senior’s role and that is where the film gets its lighter fun.

Also what comes across as a major confusion is that the film takes off with a prelude that is somewhere in the late 90s but as the story progresses, there are elements which are too modern day for its course. The dialogues run high on a zany quotient and you may even have a good laugh at some of the serious scenes simply because they lack the depth required to pull them off. The Transporter Refueled script lacks wit even though the writers keep the plot agile enough to end in an hour and a half.

still from movie ‘The Transporter: Refueled’ The Transporter: Refueled Review: Script Analysis Thus what we see ahead is, the typical car chase sequences, expensive wines and a modelesque new Frank Martin. Thus, leaving no choice for Martin but to co-operate with Anna, the ex-special-operations mercenary makes sure to use his covert skills to help the operation reach its final stage. All this includes a bank heist and in order to have Frank’s full contribution, Anna and her accomplishes kidnap his father played by Ray Stevenson. Anna and the ladies force Frank to take-up their vengeful act to take down the human trafficker who victimized her years earlier. This time he crosses the path of Anna (Loan Chabanol) who is leading an all-female crook gang. Frank Martin (Ed Skrein) is at his reckless best, busy transporting classified packages for questionable people. Mind you, go with a fresh mind since comparison to any of its prequels would give you a massive headache for its nowhere nearby. Watch or Not?: Unless you have nothing to watch this weekend, you could watch this film. I could not enjoy this rebooted version of Frank Martin. What’s Bad: This film is Jason Statham-less! If you can get over this fact that Statham has been replaced by a younger Ed Skrein, who cannot replicate the former’s cold-blooded nature, kudos to you. If the classy-looking action stunts work for you, this film could turn out fun for you. In certain scenes, you may find yourself wondering if you are watching a high-end commercial and a particularly violent one but hey it is still the film. What’s Good: The Transporter Refueled presents more gloss than ever before. Star Cast: Ed Skrein, Ray Stevenson, Loan Chabanol, Gabriella Wright, Tatjana Pajković, Wenxia Yu, Radivoje Bukvić, Lenn Kudrjawizki, Anatole Taubman, Noémie Lenoir
