Film The Transporter Refueled
Steven
A fourth Transporter film was planned to feature original franchise star Jason Statham, who was offered a three film deal with EuropaCorp to produce additional installments. After negotiations with Statham fell through, Skrein was hired and the franchise was rebooted, featuring no returning cast members from the first three films. Principal photography took place in Paris.
The Transporter Refueled was theatrically released on 4 September 2015 in the United States and in France five days later, by EuropaCorp; it is the first Transporter film primarily distributed by EuropaCorp. The film received negative reviews from critics, who criticized the screenplay and found it underwhelming compared to other Transporter films. It grossed $72.6 million worldwide.
In 1995, Russian criminal mobster Arkady Karasov and his associates Leo Imasov and Yuri took over rival gangs' sex trafficking business at the French Riviera. One of the prostitutes is a young Anna and Massa. Karasov takes an interest in taking Massa with him.
Fifteen years later, Anna calls someone to implement their plan to bring down Karasov's criminal enterprise. Former special forces operative Frank Martin is a skilled chauffeur who transports classified packages and people for questionable clients in his Audi S8. Frank picks up Frank Martin Sr., a retired MI6 agent and Frank Jr.'s father.
Later that night, at the Carlton Cannes Hotel, Anna and Qiao kill the accountant in charge of Karasov's money and place a dead prostitute's body in the hotel room before escaping. At Frank Jr.'s residence, during a dinner with his father, Anna calls Frank Jr. for a "transporter", and asks him to meet her at the Hotel Barrire Le Majestic Cannes. The next morning, Karsov and his lady, Massa, discover that his accountant has been killed, and a dead prostitute is found wearing a necklace that belonged to his group.
Karasov shows his account to his associates, but Gina manages to sneak aboard the yacht and transfer all the stolen money to his account. Double-crossed, a shootout occurs, in which Qiao and Maria are killed in the crossfire. Gina steals back the money before Massa shoots Gina. Before Massa can retrieve the money, Gina strangles Massa before succumbing to her wound. Frank Jr. confronts Karasov on a cliffside. Anna intervenes, shoots Karasov, and sends his body plummeting into the ocean. Frank Jr. convinces Anna to leave her life of revenge behind, and Anna drives away. One month later, Anna distributes the stolen money to the families of her friends and Frank Jr. and Sr.
EuropaCorp wanted Statham to sign a three contract deal, without revealing the script first. English actor Ed Skrein replaced Statham as Frank Martin in the fourth installment of the series.[8] In March 2015, the title was changed from The Transporter Legacy to The Transporter Refueled.
The film was previously set to be released on 6 March 2015.[9] On 5 November 2014, EuropaCorp moved the film for a 19 June 2015 release.[13] On 1 April 2015, EuropaCorp again moved the film back to a 4 September 2015.[14]
As fans of the previous three films know, a transporter is someone who gets dangerous cargo from point A to point B, no questions asked, for a high fee. This time around, Martin is hired to take Anna (Loan Chabanol) on a mission of revenge against her former employer, the snarling Russian pimp/mobster Karasov (Radivoje Bukvic). To make sure Martin plays along, she and her girl gang have kidnapped, and perhaps even poisoned, his dad (Ray Stevenson).
I've never exactly been a big fan of Jason Statham movies like The Transporter, not that I hate them but honestly none of them ever impressed me. When I was a kid, I always watched half of the second installment as the version I had was pirated and in Portuguese, a language I don't know well enough to watch a full movie, let alone when I was a kid. Therefore, it can be said that this is the first complete movie I remember watching in the franchise.
With terrible direction, god awful writing, and horrible supporting performances, "The Transporter Refueled" is one of the most unnecessary sequels ever. Props to the mildly fun action sequences and the solid performances from Ed Skrein and Ray Stevenson though. Not as bad as I expected but still not good.
Mostly crap, your stock Europacorp-brand Action Slurry, but for some key elements: 1) The lack of Jason Statham, while a huge liability, at least means there's no talent to squander as in the garbage TAKEN films; 2) Ray Stevenson is pretty funny as Transporter's horny dad; 3) a handful of lovely practical car pulls.
Congratulations Taken 3. Looks like you have just been beaten as the most incoherent, lazily made, mind numbingly stupid, and pointless action sequel of the year, thanks to "Transporter Refueled". Sad to see the always good Ray Stevenson in this, as he and a FEW enjoyable set pieces that would've been far more fun if director Camille Delamarre had any idea how to shoot them, are the only things keeping it from the 1/2 territory pretty much. I also haven't seen fight scenes with as bad choreography as here in probably all year. There's tons of beautiful women in this, but if you want to witness a good action movie with great female characters go watch something like Mad Max or MI5 instead.
Transporter Refueled is about the technology and how it's upgraded but the rules are the same: never change the deal, no names and never open the package. Frank is the most highly-skilled transporter on the market - and when Anna and her three stunning sidekicks hire him, he finds the deal turned sour when he finds out they have kidnapped his father in order for him to take down a Russian human-trafficking ring. But Frank will stop at nothing to get his father back - no matter who stands in his way.
Es ist Zeit fr das grossartige SchleCoWaZ. Wir schauen an diesem Wochenende Filme die eine LB Bewertung von unter 2.5 Sternen haben. Das wird ein Fest sag ich euch! Als ersten Eintrag habe ich mir The Transporter: Refueled ausgesucht mit einer Durchschnittswertung von 2,2. Dieser Wertung schliesse ich mich mit meinen zwei Sternen an, denn auch wenn der Film nicht so schlimm war wie befrchtet, bietet er absolut nichts was ihn in irgend einer Weise sehenswert machen wrde...
The Transporter Refueled is directed by Camille Delamarre (Brick Mansions) and written by Bill Collage & Adam Cooper (Exodus: Gods & Kings, Tower Heist). This time, it's Ed Skrein ("Game of Thrones") inheriting the action franchise as Frank Martin, the most highly-skilled transporter money can buy. The stakes are greater and technology better, but the same three simple rules apply: never change the deal, no names and never open the package. Ray Stevenson, Loan Chabanol, Radivoje Bukvic, Gabriella Wright, Anatole Taubman and Tatiana Pajkovic all star in the film. Europa Corp. will release on September 4th.
