I've been meaning to give this a shot. I like Ed Skrein and of course I am a fan of the movie and television series. Although it seems this wasn't well received. Hopefully it still has some moments that are enjoyable. I do find it funny how they have no regards toward the timeline they created here as I've seen pointed out many times. Can you believe Luc Besson actually helped write this reboot. Bill Collage and Adam Cooper who wrote Exodus: Gods and Kings, Accepted, and Tower Heist also have their hands here. I've seen Brick Mansions by Camille Delamarre. It was okay, but it was pretty cheesy. Hopefully that doesn't translate so much here. I find it sad that they decided to ignore the original trilogy while still taking the time to reinvent multiple scenes from it. Really that's their prologue here? That was pretty weak. Yeah that scene was definitely a copy. Also it wasn't even really all that impressive sadly. So they decided to go the whole like father like son route. In this situation it kind of takes away from the badassery that is Frank Martin. You know this could have easily been done as another guy since there are multiple Transporters. Lol wow censoring the music that's just pathetic. If you aren't allowed to use the music in a complete form just don't use it! The continuous hilarity of the movie is that pretty much all of his rules always get broken. You would think he would just give up on them already. So it's a mixture of Indiana Jones, the original Transporters, and even Taken. Does this have anything "original" that makes it stand out? Well they sure aren't playing nicely. Lol what are the chances of a cop car t-boning another cop car that's not even part of the chase?! Aww all the poor innocent people driving today. Okay that fire hydrant thing was badass! Finally there are some good fight scenes. Everything always has some kind of complication. That was insane and a bit unrealistic, but damn it was awesome. Wait let me get this straight. The girl who got shot and was in a lot of pain is perfectly fine enough to have sex that same night!? Way to go and make the plot continue through repetition. Well I have admit final confrontation was a bit bland. There is a cheesy but cute little epilogue at the end. I would have liked better fight scenes and car chases. Although each had their moments. Also the main girl was probably the least attractive of the girls in this in my opinion. Overall it's not the worst reboot I've seen, but it was pretty lackluster.
