"The burgeoning 'Transporter' franchise seems to have run out of gas this third time around."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
A. J. Hakari
.5/5
"A 'what not to do' guide when making an action film."
Cut Print Review
Anders Wotzke
2/5
"What we want from a title like Transporter 3 is breakneck excitement, incredible physicality, and enough awe-inspired knuckle busting to make us forget the lack of a cohesive narrative or solid characterization. Our nuclear namesake can't even get the adr"

Bill Gibron

"An attempt to butch the franchise back up after the thickly frosted, logic-free happenings of the last installment,
Transporter 3
actually prefers gloom and doom, thus creating a joyless machine of violence."

B-
" It's thanks to the Transporter series that there is an international super-action genre outside of James Bond. That's a good thing."

"Valentina is angry and resigned and just-so-adorably exotic, in the sense that she misses nuance and inverts English syntax ("What matters my name?")."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
2.5/4
"...
Transporter 3
does manage to sporadically capture one's interest with its expectedly thrilling action sequences..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
1.5/4
"A pointless, junky, lackadaisical product that should hopefully put the kibosh on another sequel."

"A stiflingly dull and useless caper that's all the more aggravating when you recall how giddy the original film was."

"Eurotrash...a splashy but tedious retread that suggests the franchise has totally run out of gas."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/4
"The most frustrating entry into a series that has never set the bar terribly high."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2/5
"Smash-up action sequel is a little rough for young teens."
Common Sense Media
James Rocchi
"Parental Content Review"
Screen It!
Jim Judy
1/5
"I wanted to be transported out of the theater."
3BlackChicks Review
Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel
3/5
"Don't go expecting any plot. Any at all. Just look for some excellent action, a badass Jason Statham and a red-headed sexpot."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
B-
"...a good old-fashioned genre film that delivers and does it well enough to stand on its own."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
2/5
"While it will no doubt end up being a let down even for the die hardest of fans, the film does contain a couple of interesting thrills here and there."
Film Threat
Michael Ferraro
B-
"Who cares about the laws of physics when there's a chance for some really cool and stylish acrobatics? That's what athlete-turned actors and special effects are for!"
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
4/5
"And yet, while the film is admittedly crap from start to finish, I personally found it to be a pretty entertaining piece of crap regardless of its numerous flaws"
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
2.5/5
"Besson and Kamen somehow make a film that's even dumber than part 2.... But they've still got the superbly watchable Statham at the centre, so the script is fairly irrelevant."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
C
"It has the right mixture of gimmicky hooks and grindhouse appeal, but never exploits them properly."
Mania.com
Rob Vaux
C+
"It creates quite the illusion of velocity but the confetti editing cheats the audience out of Hong Kong action maestro Corey Yuen's choreography and Statham's stiff, steely, strong-arm style of martial-arts fighting."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
"... it's not about story, it's about opportunities for stunts, and there are some terrific ones here, most of them impressive enough to forgive the arbitrariness of the script."
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
4/10
"Jason Statham has become a kind of poor man's James Bond but if you're expecting a coherent plot, forget it. There isn't one. Just action sequences that often lack continuity."
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
5/10
"Every bit as dumb as its predecessors, but - importantly - it is not nearly so much fun."
