movie review - Transporter 3

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2008.12.15

All there really is to say about this movie is that it isn't up to the first two in the series. Gone is any semblance of intelligence in the plot. Made feeble is the already tenuous characterization and sense of even rooting for the main character.

I managed to soldier through this one while working on a woodworking project that by the movie's end pretty much occupied me completely. Recommended only for die-hard fans of the series or the star. Otherwise: Not recommended.

When destiny comes to a man from outside, it lays him low, just as an arrow lays a deer low. When destiny comes to a man from within, from his innermost being, it makes him strong, it makes him into a god…
