If you’re in the mood for some early 2000s action, Jason Statham’s popular movie The Transporter is on TV. It’s the film that kicked off the whole series – including sequels and a later remake – and many fans consider it a fun, enjoyable watch.
The movie centers around Frank Martin, a British driver working in France. He’s a professional who transports anything his clients need, delivering it on schedule and without asking any questions.
Despite his strict personal rules, he’s forced to compromise them when he realizes the package he’s been hired to deliver is a kidnapped woman intended for human trafficking.

The script for the film was written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, who previously collaborated on The Fifth Element. Louis Leterrier, known for directing Fast X, directed the movie, and Corey Yuen, a veteran action director who has worked with Bruce Lee and Jet Li, handled the action sequences.
You can watch the movie tonight on Film4 at 9pm. After that, it will be available to stream on Channel 4. If you have Disney+, it’s also available there.
It’s no surprise that audiences seem to enjoy this film more than professional critics. While critics gave it a 53% rating based on 125 reviews, viewers on Rotten Tomatoes rated it much higher with 73% based on over 250,000 votes.
Over on IMDb, the film has an average rating of 6.8 out of 10 from fans.
One viewer described the movie as a fun, though slightly embarrassing, enjoyment. They highlighted the constant action, starting with the first car chase and culminating in a surprisingly well-done, though suggestive, fight scene involving oil. The fan acknowledged Jason Statham isn’t known for his dramatic acting range, but pointed out that’s not what the role demands – he simply needs to look tough and perform a lot of physical stunts, which he does exceptionally well.
This is a really entertaining action movie packed with exciting stunts and hard-hitting action. Some viewers have criticized it for not being believable, but honestly, that’s what you should expect from this kind of film, right?
A recent review playfully called this movie “Enjoyable nonsense,” admitting it’s not groundbreaking in terms of plot or writing. However, if you’re looking for a fun, action-packed film with plenty of fighting, car chases, and Jason Statham in peak physical condition, it delivers exactly what you’d expect.
The Transporter airs on Film4 tonight at 9pm, or can be streamed on Disney+.
