"It's thrilling and absurd, and quite entertaining."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
2/5
"The action sequences here don’t have the kinetic oomph required in such a mindless effort."

David Cornelius
3/4
"
The Transporter
's got style and a captivating lead performance by Statham..."

"It's probably not easy to make such a worthless film ..."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
1.5/4
"A major waste...generic."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
1.5/4
"And with Jet Li or Jean Reno nowhere to be found, what's the point of bringing Yuen and Besson together at last?"
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez

"This is cool, slick stuff, ready to quench the thirst of an audience that misses the summer blockbusters."

Eric D. Snider
2/4
"So gloriously ridiculous and fast moving that you keep trying to convince yourself that the filmmakers were making a parody. They had to be. Right?"
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
B-
"The film's biggest asset, surprisingly enough, is Jason Statham, who shows terrific potential as an action hero, and could easily match wits with actors like Vin Diesel or Jean Claude Van Damme."
Movie Eye
Frank Ochieng
1.5/4
"This jittery junk is palatable in some doses but for the most part the adrenaline surge teeters off to the point that
The Transporter
in theory is just another bombastic excuse for targeting the testosterone-driven masses with its showy banality."
TheWorldJournal.com
Frank Ochieng
D+
"A synthesis of cliches and absurdities that seems positively decadent in its cinematic flash and emptiness."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2.5/4
"It's high rent Steven Segal -- fights, explosions, and more fights, but with a flair."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
1.5/4
"an almost instantly forgettable European action vehicle with a few relatively good bang-’em-up sequences and a straight-to-video storyline"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
8/10
"Tackles action with the enthusiastic glee of boys who like to dream up impossible scenarios and commit them to film."
Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen
7/10
"As long as one can turn off the brain and not expect anything original, the film's energetic, hip and cool aura will likely win them over."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
6/10
"Provides enough cool, exciting action sequences to make up for its recyclable plot, dinky dialogue and lame bad guys."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
5/10
"...plays like an extended trailer for a movie, a highlights reel, with all the boring stuff, like talk, left out."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
2/5
"Halfway through you may want to be transported back home."
3BlackChicks Review
Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel
4.5/5
"Kick *** fun, with excellent, above-average action and idiotic, sub-par romance."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
2.5/4
"Remember the kind of movie we were hoping "Ecks vs. Sever" or "xXx" was going to be? This is it."
MovieCrypt.com
Kevin A. Ranson
C
"The title character is far too good for the movie he inhabits"
Countingdown.com
Larry Carroll
3/4
"There are some flaws, like the distracting fight photography and the intrusive, immature score, but it has such infectious energy that it’s impossible not to like."
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
2.5/4
"The non-stop mayhem becomes tedious after a while."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
4/5
"
The Transporter
really delivers."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
3/5
"It's still enjoyably watchable and surprisingly unpredictable, with just enough silliness to keep us laughing at it, not with it."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
3/4
"It moves along so fast you forget about the holes in the plot. It is one of the best action films in several years."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
2/4
"A post-modern take on the "heroic bloodshed" genre that already had one foot in self-satire."
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
1.5/4
"Poorly acted and incoherent storytelling with no sense of style."
Oscar Guy
Wesley Lovell
