Yes, there are some excellently shot fight sequences in which the camera circles a full 360 degrees and some good use of slow motion and fast zooms to amp up the car chases (albeit for the benefit of seeing it in 3D I expect), but aside from the action there isn’t really much else to The Transporter Refueled. While Delamarre has tried to bring something new to this franchise it ultimately remains the same. Throw in some scantily clad women, fist fights, car chases and the threat of being poisoned and you’ve got the formula of a good action movie, right? Only this time it’s personal and Frank has no choice but to cooperate. In the same vein as the three previous Transporter films, this reboot follows Frank as he gets caught in the middle of someone else’s fight. However, it is in fact Ed Skrein who is the star, but he does at times have to share the lime light with Audi. When watching The Transporter Refueled you would be forgiven for thinking that the Audi S8 was the main star of the film, as it takes centre stage during the opening credits. Same rules, same suit and a fast car with almost as much technology as KITT. Delamarre attempts to make a vaguely serious point about the issues surrounding women and children being thrust into the sex trade through Anna’s character and a comment made by Frank Sr, but contradicts it by placing the women on display and all too eager to thank their heroes through sexual favours. Chabanol delivers a reasonably good performance, instilling just enough sexiness to make Frank hot under the collar while ensuring he does exactly as he’s told. Anna is dark, sultry and intent on bringing down the man that forced her and her three musketeers into the sex trade - laying out all the rules, Anna is in charge and nothing is going to stand in their way. but does maintain a certain fatherly ‘I know better’ quality throughout the film which aids in placing Skrein as a young man trying to live up to his fathers standards and expectations.Ĭhabanol plays Anna, the lead of four femme-fatals, the other three being Gabriella Wright as Gina, Tatiana Pajkovic as Maria and Wenxia Yu as Qiao. taking on the role of comedy relief which was previously held by François Berléand as Inspector Tarconi. There are mild moments of humour with Frank Sr. There is an attempt to try and show Frank as more of a sentimental character, this is done predominantly through the interactions between him and Frank, Sr.

Picking up on a lot of the mannerisms employed by Statham in the first three films, Skrein manages to convincingly carry off the part of a younger Frank Martin. Similarly to Statham, Skrein did the majority of his own stunts, one sequence in particular which was rather awesome took place in the middle of a narrow corridor with filling cabinets on both sides. He plays by his own set of rules (which he seems quite happy to break when it suits him), has that toned muscular physique and a penchant for black suits and fast cars. It’s not too difficult to envision him as a younger version of Statham’s Frank Martin. Skrein’s performance isn’t terrible and he does play the part of Frank Martin pretty well.
