Fun action-thriller with Statham in his element. The car chases and fights were decent but would've been made better if not for the choppy editing. But all in all this was entertaining even though I've seen it a few times over the years. **3.75/5**

Reviews
Jason Statham's breakout movie. And it's the perfect vehicle for him. Let's face it in almost every movie Statham is just Statham, but that's ok, it's exactly what we want to see. This is basically Luc Besson's version of a Jackie Chan movie. And it really does work. Ok, the BMW bridge jump was nothing short of cringeworthy, but the rest of the movie is enjoyable enough that we can forgive that...just.
