The Transporter Refulled
Discussion
They have gone and done it. They have only gone and made a remake of the fking Transporter. I quite liked the first one, but was it really necessary to re make it?
Only good point is it looks like it has the latest Audi S8 in it. Seems like the car has more charisma and acting skills than the male lead, whoever he is.

What is wrong with film industry, have the writers all run out of ideas!?
The original Transporter films are perfectly fine and don't need updating or refueling or whatever.
Quite the fan of the BMW 7 series in the first film, 735i Manual
and the chase scene for good measure.

No. The issue is that the industry is now run by highly risk-averse bean counters who all seem to believe that simply rehashing something that made money will make more money. And while people continue to pay to see these soulless remakes it will continue Well the guy plays Frank Martin and he isn't Jason Statham so I'd call that a remake.
Also, Ray Stevenson plays his father.
Also, Ray Stevenson plays his father.

From the producers of LUCY and the TAKEN trilogy, comes THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED, a fresh personification of the iconic role of Frank Martin, launching him into the present-day
Because 2008 was so long ago the world is vastly different to his previous outing?Oakey said:

Nah, that definitely doesn't sound like remake to me, but does sound like a reboot. They're just taking the franchise and carrying on but with a new actor playing Frank. To be remaking it would be to do the original story again but with the new guy, the trailer looks nothing like the first film.Also, Ray Stevenson plays his father.

Yeah, reboot, that's what I meant. Either way, it's not a continuation of the first three.

Frank Martin, played by newcomer Ed Skrein, a former special-ops mercenary, is now living a less perilous life- or so he thinks- as an independent agent contracted to transport classified packages for questionable people. When Frank's father (Ray Stevenson), pays him a visit in the south of France, their father-son bonding weekend soon takes a turn for the worst when Frank is engaged by the cunning femme-fatale, Anna (Loan Chabonal), and her three seductive sidekicks on a mission to orchestrate the bank heist of the century

Nothing that hasn't already been done to death.The guy playing the lead was a poor poor imitation of Statham,in the acting dept as well as screen presence.And then there's his voice !
It's one of those films you watch when there's nothing else on.
Fair bit of drifting action mind
