Jason Statham originated the "Transporter" role, playing a character named Frank Martin, who makes huge sums of money delivering questionable packages and not asking questions. Is it an alternate-universe take on the material? Possibly. Is it a prequel to the 2002 original? Probably not, since it takes place in 2010, at least that's what the movie's math tells me-even though our hero, Frank Martin (Ed Skrein), drives the new-model Audi, and femme fatale Anna (Loan Chabanol) talks to people on an iPhone 6.
#The transporter 4 refueled 2015 hd movie
It's unclear how or if director Camille Delamarre's movie fits into the Transporter universe. With that in mind, let's look at The Transporter Refueled, a McMixing of McElements from an action franchise hoping to make a comeback after being yanked from the menu in 2008. But these people are the movie industry's lifeblood, the ones who make multi-million-dollar opening weekends possible. We cineastes may bristle at the idea of such low-brow randomness the way Catholics sneer at cell phones in church. There’s nothing wrong with this, of course. For them, movies are amusements, not art, and carry the same spiritual currency as roller coasters, slot machines, and McDonald's burger sauces. Mouths agape and mumbling to their companions, they await cosmic instructions from red dot-matrix marquee as to how they’ll spend their next twenty dollars and ninety minutes. But there are people (maybe a lot of them, maybe only the few I've observed) who treat ticket counters with the same caution-to-the-wind passivity as they do fast-food counters. Leaving my house for the multiplex is always a mission.
