The Transporter poster

Why people love it

People revisit The Transporter for the same reason it broke through in 2002: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a crime rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Corey Yuen keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The action and crime blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
