Highlights include - but are in no way limited to - one of Frank’s victims yelling “You jerk!” mid-fight (via subtitles, no less) as well as Anna quoting Dumas, followed by Frank calling her on it and an immediate cut to a worn copy of “The Three Musketeers” that just happens to by laying around … in a mostly abandoned warehouse. The combination of these linguistic missteps and plotting that makes room for such genre standbys as a Mexican standoff and a clifftop battle between hero and villain inspires the worst ensemble acting of 2015 outside of “Unfriended,” but manages to yield a fair amount of accidental entertainment. It also doesn’t help that the godawful dialogue in “The Transporter Refueled” is intoned by a primarily ESL cast who’ve clearly skipped their share of classes and, though it’s hard to tell, may be the victims of poor dubbing.

With Jason Statham unavailable or uninterested in taking a fourth spin as hired driver Frank Martin, pile of bricks Ed Skrein gets behind the wheel while Noomi Rapace lookalike Loan Chabanol makes viewers wish the former Lisbeth Salander was cast as Anna, a lady of the night seeking revenge on Russian mobster Karasov (Radivoje Bukvic).Īrbitrarily set in 2010 - a 1995 prologue followed by a “15 Years Later” title card and nothing to suggest it’s not present day in the French Rivera hints at bad math - the film follows her quest, which involves coercing Frank and his particular set of skills into service by kidnapping his namesake father (Ray Stevenson). Playing at Beaucatcher, Biltmore Grande and Carolina Cinemas.Īs foretold in its title, just about everything in the 96-minute Audi commercial masquerading under the name “The Transporter Refueled” is a cheap knockoff of something better, beginning with the cast. The dummy-proof storytelling is an insult to ventriloquism and may be the year’s worst script.Audiences are paying to see action scenes & in that department the film only occasionally delivers.
