The Transporter Refueled (2015)
Decent actioner even though it doesn't really come close to the first three films in the series. Unfortunately newcomer Ed Skrein is no Jason Statham in the role of Frank Martin, lacking much of the latter actors charisma and all round cool. Fortunately the charisma is brought to proceedings in spades by Ray Stevenson as Frank's father.
The plot line is nothing special but there are plenty of sequences to wow you including a high speed chase around the streets of Monaco and a totally original airport set piece that should have even the most hardened action movie fans laughing and whooping in delight.
Producer / writer Luc Besson comes up with these Euro set films in his sleep, and for the most part they are genuinely enjoyable. The Transporter Refueled is no exception.
