The fast-paced action movie is again set in the criminal underworld in France, where Frank Martin is known as The Transporter, because he is the best driver and mercenary money can buy. In this installment, he meets Anna and they attempt to take down a group of ruthless Russian human traffickers who also have kidnapped Frank’s father.
In these 96 minutes of stilted dialogue and a plot that needlessly loops back on itself, you will find The Transporter Refueled dutifully following the rules and predictabilities of the action genre and not much else.

There aren't enough showpiece numbers for Skrein, at least not of the quality that Jason Statham has had.

Cheap silliness abounds, including car chases that are more about loud crashes and CGI than the thrill of speed.

Don't think too hard about it or you might ruin the ride.
