Action

The Transporter

Release date: October 11, 2002


The Pitch:

Frank Martin is a guy with a car, and he'll drive anything anywhere. He also kicks and punches.

Why You Need It:

Jason Statham is our pick for the action star of the 21st century - the man has a charisma that just can't be beat, and he can dole out an ass-kicking with the best of them. The Transporter franchise helped establish him as such, and for good reason - the visceral, fast-paced storylines keep him always moving, pausing only to break somebody's neck or put a bullet in somebody's brain. It's a non-stop brawlfest that we could watch over and over - and the DVDs have extended fight scenes. Followed by two sequels so far, and those kick ass, too. STATHAM!

Talent:

Corey Yuen (director), Jason Statham, Shu Qi, Matt Schulze, François Berleand, Ric Young, Doug Rand, Didier Saint Melin.
