The series is notable for putting Statham on the map, as well as setting the template for pretty much all of his subsequent roles. The second and third movies dispensed with any pretensions of realism and are considerably more over the top.

The first film was a stylish (it was written by Luc Besson, after all), fast-paced action romp, directed by Louis Letterier and choreographed by another frequent Jet Li collaborator, Cory Yuen who also served as co-director. Because he looked in the package the bad guys try to kill him. He is visibly bothered by this and allows her the basic opportunities of food and bathroom time (during which she tries to escape) but ultimately ends up delivering her to the Bad Guys anyway. However, whilst transporting a large bag from a somewhat unsavory client, Frank discovers an Asian woman named Lai ( Shu Qi) stuffed inside his cargo. Frank has a set of rules, one of which includes: 'Never open the package'. Give him the money, the measurements, and the time and he'll get your stuff from A to B.

The Transporter is 2002 action film starring Jason Statham as Frank Martin: a gruff, ex-military man who is in the 'transporting' business.
