Dad's Preview:
This snappy little flick introduced the world to the stern-eyed
Jason Statham. He is Frank, The Driver, who will transport anything
-
no questions asked, no matter the risks. He follows three simple
rules to not get involved. Of course, this all goes sideways,
when the package happens to be a live girl. The automobile stunts are
amazing, as are the martial arts-influenced fight scenes. It is
mostly
non-stop action, but I found the hint of romance engaging, too. |
