Jason Statham will never be a James Bond. Thankfully he is not trying to be yet – at least not too much. There is too much “establishment”, too much large scale intrigue and political undertone in Transporter 3 to attribute the same to a mere amoral “transporter”. Like the previous editions thie pace is relentless. The bond between the man and the car that cannot be broken makes parts of the movie tantalizing. And we did not miss Audi trashing the Merc down a cliff and surviving multiple challenges in what was not so subtle surrogate advertising. Yes, a Russian damsel in distress, the French countryside, good food (at least a lot of talk of it) and the pace make it a value for money movie, and the franchise definitely survives to move on to a fourth edition
