The Transporter

Watched this movie at work yesterday, twice...And I know that there have been a few other posts about this, sorry......

I was absolutely blown AWAY by the first 20 mins or so, it was totally awesome!... But unfortunatly, it goes WAY downhill after that. The story becomes riddled with plot holes, the dialogue is shot through the head (3 times)s), and the action is kinda cheesy.
If you want a sweet action movie, look elsewhere. But if you want a run-of-the-mill, totally mediocre action movie, then go for it. I cant recommend anything past the first 20 minutes.

Yeah, but those first twenty minutes absolutely rocked! Just about THE best driving scenes I've seen in a movie ever, rivals Ronin as having the best car chase scenes in a movie.

I'd buy a reasonably priced DVD copy of it just for the first twenty minutes.

You are absolutely right about it going downhill, though I must say the acting was a pleasant surprise in an action film.
