Transporter 3

This time, the rules are the same. Except one.

More high action and hijinks as The Transporter gets another tough assignment: look after a young woman, driving around while waiting for his next instruction. He has to protect her from The Baddies, who go to great lengths to kill her. His problems are magnified by the fact that his car is wired to explode if he or she gets more than 25 metres away from it. Critics have bemoaned the lack of an understandable plot.

100 minutes.
Mature Accompaniment under 13 (Violence).

iAfrica.com Nils van der Linden This series is clearly running on empty.	3
The Citizen Peter Feldman The production is really driven by rapid-fire editing of the action and Jason Statham's no-nonsense charisma.	14
24.com Niel Bekker Pretty classy trash.	10
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Transporter 3 is a perfectly acceptable brainless action thriller, inspiring us to give a lot of thought to complex sequences we would have been better off sucking on as eye candy.	13
eye Weekly Jason Anderson Transporter 3 feels disappointingly meagre even by the low standard set by its predecessors.	5
ReelViews James Berardinelli Without a doubt, Transporter 3 offers more innovative ways in which to defy the laws of physics than Transporter or Transporter 2, but it lacks more than a semblance of a coherent plot.	10
ScreenIt C. Fuchs It's only Statham's physical presence and strangely charismatic glower, along with the increasingly preposterous and thus resultantly goofy stunts that make the film partially worthwhile. Even so, it's clearly not good enough to warrant another pickup or delivery of a fourth installment.	8

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer This middling installment in the Transporter franchise is a few steps down from its predecessors, featuring generic stunts and a lack of energy.	7
