DML Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ - good

"Monsieur Frank, people with this kind of firepower do not make mistakes about who they visit. Who would want you this dead?" - Inspector Tarconi

Why watch this? You'll love this tight action thriller, and Statham's steely demeanor.

Plot Summary: Frank Martin is a highly skilled driver who works as a transporter for illegal goods and individuals, adhering to a strict set of rules. His no-questions-asked policy is challenged when he discovers his latest cargo is a kidnapped woman, leading to a dangerous entanglement. Forced to break his own code, Frank finds himself caught between dangerous criminals and a race against time to ensure her safety.

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 is 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.
