#Transporter refueled movie times sunday series

That may have been why Ray Stevenson was cast as this Transporter’s louche, retired-spy dad, who is kidnapped by a coterie of blond-wigged fashionista prostitutes of different national origins - diversity in casting! - to ensure the Transporter’s help in carrying out their revenge mission against Russian trafficking boss Yuri (Yuri Kolokolnikov). But Skrein exhibits none of Statham’s tough-guy magnetism when talking or waylaying Eastern European thugs. New guy Ed Skrein (“Game of Thrones”) is suitably ripped, and he hoarsely whispers the same rules that Statham’s black-tie mercenary did: any package delivered, no questions, no names, no deal changes. But this generic installment - produced and co-written by Besson and directed by one of his regular editors, Camille Delamarre - has all the appeal of somebody furiously waving a fashion spread in front of your eyes while droning in assorted accents. The original made a balletic bruiser of a star out of Jason Statham, and it enjoyably fused trashy European glitz with deliriously fun Hong Kong fight choreography.
