This wasn't the best Transporter, but damn he's a Really good driver! :D
Jason Statham is the coolest man on earth, so had to see this.
This is better than the first two Transporter films. Sure, a lot of the dialogue was awful and clichéd and the female co-star doesn't have a huge amount of acting ability, but it was still enjoyable.
Not as good as the other two transporter movies, but I enjoyed it none the less, Jason Statham was awesome.
Den sämsta i raden tycker jag. Känns inte lika noggrann som de andra 2 på nått vis.
the transporter series is back to its best with the action better and a better villain which also helps. natalya rudakova was quite irritating at times but if you can deal with that you have one very good film here

It ended up being less awful but not better. What is with Jason Statham? He can do so much better than this because, unlike the supporting cast members in this franchise, he has real acting talent. None of it really shows here, however, as he does like everyone else - sleepwalks through his lines and recites them in a robotic fashion.
It's funny. This is the second time I've seen a trilogy in which the third movie is a somewhat re-hash of a previous installment. The first time was Terminator 3 which tried to remake the legendary T2. Transporter 3 attempts to emulate the first film which actually had a desirable, non-groan inducing babe in the love interest role, a slender Asian hottie whom I would like to flee to the Andes with and live in a mountainside cabin where no one could interrupt us. This time around it's an irritating Ukranian chick with more eye make-up than the nasty blonde in the second movie who wore lingerie and high heels as she was carrying out her hitman duties with machine guns. We're also back in France just like in the first, with a black European car and the escorting of a package. This time around, however, the package is not wrapped up with the underlying pretense of 'don't open the package', therefore the big bad villain's speech about not opening the package and breaking the rules comes off as retarded. I would much prefer this chick had been kept in a duffel bag, she was that annoying.
The plot device of the eeeeevil American corporation using blackmail and kidnapping to make a national official sign off on toxic waste dumping in Europe is so stupid it makes me want to pull down my pants and take a dump. So now Frank Martin isn't just a champion for those he drives around, he's a champion for the environment! Maybe in Transporter 4 he can drive around a wannabe hippie girl in a sports sedan that runs on cooking oil and at the end of the movie he can deliver a PSA about being 'carbon neutral'. PLOOOOOOORRRRRRRRT.
STOP WRITING THIS CRAP, LUC BESSON. STOP WRITING IT.
Lovely action scenes but the romance is terribly placed. Still worth a watch.
I loved the first, the second's good but the third..except the car in the river scene..argh, not really up to the standard of the first AT ALL..still, i vote he can do great action movies, will keep on his tracks...:)
Critic Reviews
Forget the Oscar bait, Transporter 3 is the only movie you need to see this season.full review
Somehow Statham comes out of this improbable thriller with his dignity intact. With classic action-hero qualities and dry wit, he seems woefully under-employed as a deliveryman.full review
The Transporter movies are considered by many to be a guilty pleasure, and maybe I'd feel that way, too, if I ever felt any guilt at the movies.full review
If you're going to a no-frills action film, though, at least you want the action to be entertaining, which is where Transporter 3 falls down.full review
If things get much more dismal for the Transporter, he'll be running pizzas for Domino's.full review
Although Megaton's CGI fight scenes are as chopped up and incomprehensible as the current norm, he mostly avoids the Queasy-Cam and uses a stable camera while only the action moves. How about that.full review
