Quick background: I like Jason Statham, I thought the first two transporter movies were awesome, but the third one was a let down. And this fourth attempt (without him) is just like the last one. I saw it in the cinema because there wasn't much else going on action wise. So I would only recommend this is if you have ran out of options. I don't think it is as bad as some have put it, as it does have some action, although the fighting leaves much to be desired and doesn't come close to JS skills. And to make it worse, some of it has been hidden! They tried to make up for it all with lots of beautiful women, and it may have worked a little.
In summary, it's just an OK action movie. I wish JS got his act together and made another proper one.
Fmovies: Ed Skrein doesn't hold a candle to Jason Statham in this role, try though he might. The actual plot is not too bad, with I wouldn't say twists and turns, but maybe the odd curved ball, to keep the viewer interested. Many of the stunts are pretty good. Some of the acting, though, is atrocious.
The new Transporter, who comes in the shape of Ed Skrein, has some big shoes to fill taking on a role that helped make Jason Statham a bona fide action star. I've only seen Skrein in one previous film, whilst I've seen nothing from director Camille Delamarre. But I'm certainly more familiar with Ray Stevenson, who plays the father of Frank Miller, a.k.a., The Transporter. In this regard, it's quite obvious that a Connery/Ford father- son dynamic has been sought, which gives the tiniest bit of personality to a film that falls completely flat from the onset and rarely picks up. The story is familiar -- the Transporter gets a job driving a package, the job goes wrong and he's in deep. It gets personal when his father is kidnapped, but with no grit on its wheels and Skrein trying in vain to create a new persona for this character, what it ultimately amounts to is flash cars, sexy girls, suits and stunts, but nothing more. Much like a glorified car advertisement.
The Transporter Refueled fmovies. Camille Delmarre needs to get fired and get his job back at McDonalds! Who ever allowed Ed Skrein to play the lead in this is off his head, but I suspect it was his mother. It looks like he was hit in the teeth from the inside and then some... His acting (If you can call it that) is flat and he only has the same look on his face (like he has seen ... for the first time!). The fake hoarseness he carries in his voice is oh-just-so-laughable!
Come on Hollywood, if you want to do a reboot of a franchise like this, please do not do it with 3rd rate actors!!!
OK, now the action scenes, THE EDITOR, Julien Rey, NEEDS TO GET HIS HEAD OUT HIS ...! There is no continuation in the scenes and then he slows the video down JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW DYSFUNCTIONAL HE CAN MAKE IT!!!
If you have some time to spare, rather get your eyes poked with forks until you have no further need to see this atrocity.
As an afterthought, I find the plot (I will not go into the holes in this one) totally unbelieving. Prostitution and revenge? Never heard of it!
Laughable, disappointing and just outright stupid!
It is just heartbreaking to say I did not like a transporter movie. But still, I did not like this transporter movie, at all !! It is expected from a transporter series to have top notch action sequences with Jason Statham throwing some mind blowing dialogues that would make a fan jump from his/her seat. But this Transporter got neither great action sequences nor good dialogues.
Ed Skrein tries his best to reach that level but fails in experience. His voice is a plus but still cannot deliver a good blow with his dialogue delivery. He also lacks that Badass look Jason used to have.
I was literally expecting the entire time for the movie to pick up pace and satisfy the action thirst that action movie lovers would have, but it stayed that dull movie where Hero would fight for some girl the entire time and kiss her at last. (kissing the Heroine with all bruises on Hero's face is now like a symbol that movie is over).
I don't know if they will make an other part of this but I only hope next one will be better.
Verdict: If you are very bored on the weekend, take a family trip,but try to avoid Transporter Refuelled. This movie is only for Transporter series fans who just don't want to skip a movie in the series.
Redeeming features, nice Cars, nice Girls
The acting was woeful, if this was supposed to be a showcase for new talent? It failed miserably Ed Skrein was simply not believable as Frank Martin, he may well have talent but if failed to find a way to escape the terrible script.
The plot (what there was of it) was so predictable that I could have written the next scene before it showed up on the screen.
The truth is, this movie could have been edited out of the out takes and what was on the cutting room floor from the previous Transporter Movies and it would probably have been an improvement.
The Plot consisted of a few Pretty Girls exploited by Mafia type Russian bad guy, Frank takes a job and gets wrapped into a revenge plot by some of the Girls on the old Boss.
Stick it in a bag shake it and print it.
If you are thinking of going to the cinema to watch this, do not waste the money.
It gets 1 star because someone somewhere made a living on it.
