"Was this a joke?"

Well, I was highly anticipating this installment of the Transporter series. I was hoping that it would be just as good as the first 2. Unfortunately, it was one of the year's worst films, and an insult to the Transporter series, and Jason Statham. This movie was terrible, but not in every way possible. It's really 2 things that made this film as bad as it is. The dialogue. It is some of the worst I have ever seen. Not just recently, but ever. That and the bad actress that Statham has to deal with in his car for the whole movie. I have heard some stupid dialogue before, and if it's in one or 2 places, and that's it, I'll deal with it, and laugh at that part, and enjoy the movie. But this was pervasive, and it was making Jason Statham look bad. When it's really not his fault that he wasn't at the top of his game in this one. What dragged him down was the stupid lines he was given, and most of all the terrible actress that he had to work with. I give Statham a break here.

The story is bearable. Not the best but bearable. He has to transport something to a destination, and if he goes out of a certain distance, then this wristband he was wearing will blow up. Ok, so it's decent, and I could have liked this storyline, but the previous things I mentioned took away from the movie BIG TIME.

The acting is.... TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn't Statham's fault, like I said earlier, but that freakin' retard chick that he was paired up with is THE WORST ACTRESS EVER!!!!! THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD WISHED DEATH UPON SOMEONE!!! I KEPT ON HOPING FOR THAT MOMENT WHEN JASON STATHAM WAS GOING TO DUMP HER OUT OF THE CAR, AND MAYBE, HOPEFULLY KILL HER, BUT IT NEVER CAME!!!! SHE PISSED ME OFF BEYOND UNDERSTANDING!!! SHE RUINED THE WHOLE MOVIE!!! IT COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD, BUT NOOOOOOO!!! THEY HAD TO HIRE HER. THAT PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR AN ACTRESS!!! I am not just saying that either. Sometimes I can bear it if just one character's acting is off a bit, but this was BAD!!!!! Her acting combined with her stupid lines, and when she got high at the gas station, were enough for me to hate this movie.

The directing is as if they had to rush this movie together in like... a day. It is poorly shot, and I think the director had something to do with that bad actress being as bad as she was.

I have no complaints for the visuals. Actually. the action sequences are quite awesome, and I liked how they kept the action true to the first 2. That was actually cool. BUT NOT THE REST OF THE MOVIE! Plus the ladies get to see Jason Statham shirtless plenty of times.

Overall, HORRIBLE MOVIE! I thought it was going to be good, but instead, this came out. It had everything it needed, but when they hired that actress, and had her and Statham say those lines... they just killed their movie. I guess go see it, for some comedy relief. Nothing else.
