In the French underworld, Frank Martin was a well-known "courier" at the age of 18, as long as he had money, he could hire him to deliver goods, and his absolute mission would never go wrong.
Frank takes on the courier mission and strictly adheres to three rules: does not change the details of the transaction, but asks for the names of both parties, and does not care about the contents of the courier, until he encounters the leader of the violent group, the mysterious snake and scorpion beauty Anna (Playa Chabanor); Anna grabs Frank's father and threatens to cooperate, and Frank involuntarily falls into the trap...
The film focuses on the story of the courier Frank Martin when he was young, revealing his untold secrets, not so much a reboot as a prequel to the story, although the protagonist has a new face, but what remains unchanged is the flying car chase expected by fans around the world.
Director Camille Dilamar has filmed a lot of car commercials, he has an inexplicable insistence on car shooting "no special effects, actual shooting", so in the shooting of the flying car scene, there is no blue screen, and the collision of each car is constantly calculated to ensure the best photographic angle and let the audience experience the scene.
If Frank knew he would become bald in years, would he still wear so much hairspray as he was young? To be funny, although I have always disliked Statham, and the perception of the "Desperate Express" series is also ordinary, but honestly after watching this film, somehow, I suddenly missed Jason Statham's "Desperate Express".
The movie has a certain degree of entertainment is not wrong, driving S8 to soar around is very exciting, crashing into the broken police car is the same as a lot, the seaside road chosen by the shooting location is soaring up and special, although the young Frank is young, the hand is still good, so there are many close combat scenes, simply put, there is no difference between the elements and characteristics that appeared in the past "Desperate Express", but somehow, it feels like it is so bad.
I think it is still the influence of the protagonist's charm, Statham is the number one expression to go to the world, but as long as he squints slightly, his mouth sips, and speaks his lines in a low tone, he is full of threats and oppression, and his whole body emits the momentum of "dare to provoke me, beat your crying father and shout mother".
Although no matter which movie he plays, which role he plays, almost exactly the same, this kind of supporting role is super eye-catching, when the protagonist is slightly insufficient, but Statham still has his own unique charm, ah, Ed Scringlin played by the young version of Frank's personality, eye color, look can not deviate from the light mature male version of Frank, so there is a situation where Ed Scrin is struggling in the cottage Jason, trying his best but childish, lacking personal characteristics.
If this kind of immaturity, with the role is still young, it can barely cover up the past, after watching it, people find that the original protagonist of this film is not Frank, but his father, which is a bit of a suspicion of deceiving consumers.
Old Frank played by Ray Stevenson is too charming, the role is only a little less than little Frank, but it steals the limelight, old Frank is witty, cynical, and cares about his son, can be literate, although old, but Ginger is old spicy, little Frank is still a little worse than that, the audience should feel weird, how old Frank is more like the prequel male protagonist?
Perhaps Ed Scrin is not enough to support the overall situation alone, and the plot arrangement is also divided between father and son, which inevitably makes people a little uncomfortable, after all, Statham often plays from the beginning to the end.
The plot of this film has always reminded me of the "Flying Flowers" starring Quinn Latifa, but it is a more in-depth and advanced version, but the female characters are like vases, and it is too old-fashioned to repay with a body.
The plot development is no different from the previous ones, which will make people feel that frank Martin has encountered similar things from young to middle-aged, and there is no surprise or freshness.
1 hour and 36 minutes is not long, sometimes it will make people feel bored, it is said that this time to open is also doing trilogy plans, then I hope that the next episode of the plot can be a little solid, otherwise it is a pity that this series rots again.
