Like before, Transporter must have damsel-in-distress, now it thinks a group of these attractive ladies would replace narrative. I've high tolerance for cheesy lines, but when the characters literally pose for camera every five minutes to utter these insanely ludicrous lines, it's not even funny anymore. Script is so awful, almost everything they say sound like 80's macho gibberish, one-liner from porn parody or silly used car commercial. At the very least previous Transporters' fight is over-the-top fun, this is just confusingly bland. It's actually sad that the quirky yet brutal fighting scenes are replaced with such poor production. The movie opts for terrible editing and epileptic camera work instead. Unfortunately, the usual captivating fights or engaging chases are nowhere to be found. Forget coherency or plausibility, the movie plays by its own faulty logic. In other words, it's a complete and utter mess. Story relies on blind luck, coincidences, characters' stupidity and baseless arbitrary events. The Transporter is caught up in the struggle and forced to help them. A group of prostitutes concocts a ridiculously intricate plan to topple their mafia boss. However, the worst offender is the awful script, bordering on cheap fantasy or softcore porn, the fact that it quotes The Three Musketeers so often is a literature travesty. Considering it's now stuck with poorly edited choreography for the scuffle, there's barely a trail of usual high octane ride. Ed Skrein only amounts to carbon copy lookalike with accent. He looks suave and confident, more importantly he looks capable in action sequences. While Jason Statham might not possess incredible acting, he's a great fit for Transporter.
