7/10
Excellent

Frank (Statham) is hired to deliver a package to Odessa on the Black Sea. He has a passenger, Valentina (Rudakova), and he doesn't know why she is in the car with him. They both have bracelets on them that will explode if they are so many feet from the car. This can't be good.

Like the Die Hard movies, this Transporter series just gets better and better. You know what you are going to get especially if you saw T1 & T2. And, I was not disappointed. The stunts, acting, and dialogue are first class. In fact, even the music gave the movie the kind of status you would expect with a Bond, Bourne or a John McClane (Bruce Willis) movie. It was really good. The editing was superb and the story moved along at a very good pace.

The story gets somewhat complicated so pay attention. Hard to believe, I know, but the Transporter Series is taking a step up.

Yes, there were a couple of fights where Frank had to deal with about 12-goons at one time. Hey, this is a Transporter movie. Frank can handle himself. You know that. It's his schtick or something. And, yes, there are some outlandish, possibly unbelievable stunts with the cars, big trucks, a train, and maybe a little CGI, but hey, it's a Transporter movie. We expect those stunts. And, they were more than great.

Robert Knepper as Johnson did a great job as the big bad boss now that he is finished with that finally done Prison Break TV show (great show btw). And, Natalya played her part to perfection and she is very pretty and sexy. And, Jason himself just gets better and better and you can see this by his getting more lines to speak. He's good. Deal with it.

Hey, this is an action movie thriller, not Shakespeare. Deal with that too.

Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: No.
