While her father ponders what to do with three boatloads of toxic waste, Frank must guard the problematic woman and prevent her from wandering too far from his vehicle, or risk triggering the explosive shackles they both wear.

Critics Consensus

This middling installment in the Transporter franchise is a few steps down from its predecessors, featuring generic stunts and a lack of energy.

3/5

Though director Olivier Megaton exhibits a good bit of that annoyingly jagged editing that's become all the rage in action films, he has the good sense to never cut away from Statham's pecs.

2/5

Incoherent and inconsistent, this is a step back for Statham in his quest to become more than a cult figure.

1.5/4

There’s nothing to drop the jaw, and nothing we haven’t seen in better movies starring the likes of Van Damme or Jackie Chan.

7/10

Brings Frank Martin back to his outlandish (but not completely ridiculous) brand of martial arts mayhem, crazy femme fatale associates, and 200-mile-per-hour car chases.

My view this was the best of the three movie series. The rules went by the board quickly, the range widened considerably which made it more interesting.

At least it was better than that stupid a$$ of a cartoon transporter 2!

Jason Statham does still handle the role of Frank Martin well and it has some fun sequences, but the lackadaisical Transporter 3 is a massive step-down from its two predecessors due to horribly filmed action, erratic editing and a story that is generic, doesn't properly present its stakes and is poorly paced.

It is absolutely awful. The editing ruins car chases and fight scenes alike. Choppy editing on fight scenes make them impossible to follow, speeded up editing on car chases make them comedic and cartoonish. The BMX scene is the best, but as it's virtually all filmed without Jason's head it is pretty obvious he was never there...... oh and let's not forget the female lead, which is a shame because you would want to if you could.

Not as good as the first 2, just an ok movie, the girl doesn’t suit him tho, doesn’t seem like someone Jason Statham would fall in love with, it feels forced, not genuine
