Miller, 'Transporter Legacy's' Ed Skrein (Exclusive)īacked by producer Luc Besson, who also gave us the originals, this film has the same set-up: Frank Martin, a.k.a. The first three films were low-budget B-movies at best - and in our franchise-frazzled age, even they get the chance to be rebuilt as moneymakers with nothing more than the toxically tedious fumes of name recognition in their tank.Īlso Read: Ryan Reynolds' 'Deadpool' Eyes 'Silicon Valley's' T.J. The action’s accent on Russian rogues, lethal ladies and Rivera-set car chases makes “The Transporter Refueled” feel less like a film and more like the world’s most violent Vanity Fair fashion spread, all poses and pouts instead of the two-fisted, rough life of the originals. The lumpy, funny, custom-cut Statham is now replaced by the leaner, less fun off-the-rack Ed Skrein.
An ill-advised attempt to push-start a reboot of the Euro-action franchise that put Jason Statham on the map in 2002, “The Transporter Refueled” is not nearly as charming or crunchy as the originals.
