The Transporter turned Jason Statham into an A-list action star in Hollywood

Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is a former member of the US special forces. After retiring, he went to Paris, France to work as a transporter for a living. Frank transports all types of goods with three rules: do not change the contract, do not ask the owner’s name and do not open the package.

One day, while delivering the goods, Frank voluntarily opened the package because he saw it moving and realized it was a girl (Thu Ky). The girl named Lai told him about a large human trafficking case from China to France led by her father. Frank was determined to stop this cruel organization.

The Transporter = action hero + popular beauty

Although Transporter 1 was not a commercial hit, it was a good start for a whole series that followed and was also a launching pad for Jason Statham. Transporter is the movie that catapulted Jason Statham into an A-list action star, and became one of the most popular action stars in North America.

Jason Statham’s acting in Transporter is very impressive. Jason Statham’s dusty appearance with his “watermelon” bald head, cold eyes, steel arms and fists along with his fierce martial arts moves can match any type of action figure and makes viewers convinced.

In later films, when Jason Statham played other roles with different shapes such as Freak (in Crank), Killer Mechanic (The Mechanic), Bank Robber (The Bank Job), FBI agent (in War with Jet Li) or a former Special Forces agent working as a mercenary (The Expendables), all of those designs do not make the audience forget the human character’s appearance. shipping this violent fist. The Transporter also proves a simple principle of Hollywood screenwriters: the expensive original idea is extremely minimalist but the plot details are complex and interesting.

The scene is in the first scene when Jason Statham encounters Thu Ky and then has an “accident” because of that encounter.
