Aquasol came out of the closet to say:
I agree with almost everything positive that's been said about this movie. Don't watch it if you're going to take it seriously or else you're going to hate it. Most of the acting sucks, the premise is good but the plot leaves a lot to be desired, and the action, while amusing at times, isn't anything new. To me, the Transporter perfectly embodies the "popcorn flick" 3.5
It's been a while, but I seem to remember that even after they'd had sex, the 2 leads had absolutely no chemistry between them. I mean, I know the morning afternoon can sometimes be awkward but it wasn't awkward due to them having shared a moment or swapped spit or whatever you want to call it, there was no intimacy at all.
The other problem is that the movie starts out exciting but doesn't really build on that, and the climactic scene...isn't climactic.

The most interesting thing about the movie to me, is the trailer scene where he deflects an RPG or something with an oven pan as was mentioned - but that was so silly that it was left out of the finished product.

I expect even a popcorn movie to be better than this flick, but that's not really a discussion for this forum.
If you like XXX and that sort of movie, it's worth a rental for the action, but I don't recommend buying it. 2.5 - average for the genre.
