Plot:
Frank Martin (Skrein) is an exceptional transporter who is precise and operates by his rules and they cannot be altered at anytime. But when he takes on a job for Anna (Chabanol), a scorned prostitute and her colleagues he is forced to alter his rules because they have taken his father Frank Sr. (Stevenson) as a hostage until he completes their task which is to take down the Russian mob who they now formerly were employed by. So as they tear through the streets of France in his super charged Audi they must race against the clock before the Russians catch up with them and for Frank to save his dad from dying from being poisoned.
Reel Talk:
All I can say is that Jason Statham is definitely missed in this movie. Ed Skrein is the new actor who is replacing Statham as the no nonsense kick some booty transporter. Now we all know Statham is not known for his acting skills but he was much better as the Audi driving carrier Frank Martin than his replacement. Maybe it is unfair but all the while that I watched the movie I just kept comparing Ed Skrein to Jason Statham. But aside from the bad acting across the board it is filled with fast car chases and over the top action and outrageous stunts that have made the series popular, so if you are a junkie for just an action movie you may enjoy it. Otherwise this is one that you can catch at the matinee and save a few dollars.
