#The transporter 4 refueled movie

But if you do watch this garbage, don't say I didn't warn you. Dig deeper and you'll find that Refueled is not only poorly scripted, acted and directed to such an appalling extent, it's very making is a blatant insult to anyone paying to watch this film. Blink and you'll miss the third chase – Martin on a jetski versus the villain in a Mercedes G-classon land! Equally cringe worthy is the father-son bonding (Ray Stevens as Martin's dad) which is as effective as securing a square peg in a round hole. Somewhere between an elaborate plan where prostitutes revolt against their pimps, the so called action consists of hand-to-hand combat and three car chases. And while the previous films were an exhibition of brawn over brain, this pathetic excuse of an action film has neither, nor does it seem to care. Very early in the film, the Audi does a cool trick until it immediately dawns on you that a Pontiac Trans Am called 'Kitt' did this trick over thirty years ago. Problem is, the film doesn't budge past the first gear and neither does the Audi A8 that replaces the BMW 7-series, the Mercedes S-class or the Lamborghini Murciélago from the previous films. Replacing Jason Statham as the titular protagonist, Ed Skrein's Frank Martin often says 'buckle up'. With none of the cast and crew from the previous films, Refueled runs on fumes even before it goes into first gear. For The Transporter Refueled, that's just the outer layer of decomposition. In relating that saying to this fourth installment of The Transporter franchise, as long as cinema goers are dumb enough to pay hard earned money to watch just about anything, then absolute junk will be recycled over and over again. Before I begin to hack this film to pieces (to find anything of value of course), let's start with an old school adage – Point blame at someone and there's always three fingers pointing back at you. One man's trash, another man's treasure and all that, scavengers rummaging through garbage are always optimistic about finding something of value. With the amount of plot holes and poor choreography it must go through, the end product is unrecognizable wreckage.

Audience might get juvenile guilty pleasure from the these blond short bob misses with minimal dress or a couple of nifty chases, but these gimmicks are shallow and the best they could do is slightly boost the movie rating if one is generous enough in reviewing it.

Like before, Transporter must have damsel-in-distress, now it thinks a group of these attractive ladies would replace narrative. I've high tolerance for cheesy lines, but when the characters literally pose for camera every five minutes to utter these insanely ludicrous lines, it's not even funny anymore. Script is so awful, almost everything they say sound like 80's macho gibberish, one-liner from porn parody or silly used car commercial. At the very least previous Transporters' fight is over-the-top fun, this is just confusingly bland.

It's actually sad that the quirky yet brutal fighting scenes are replaced with such poor production. The movie opts for terrible editing and epileptic camera work instead. Unfortunately, the usual captivating fights or engaging chases are nowhere to be found. Forget coherency or plausibility, the movie plays by its own faulty logic. In other words, it's a complete and utter mess. Story relies on blind luck, coincidences, characters' stupidity and baseless arbitrary events. The Transporter is caught up in the struggle and forced to help them. A group of prostitutes concocts a ridiculously intricate plan to topple their mafia boss. However, the worst offender is the awful script, bordering on cheap fantasy or softcore porn, the fact that it quotes The Three Musketeers so often is a literature travesty. Considering it's now stuck with poorly edited choreography for the scuffle, there's barely a trail of usual high octane ride. Ed Skrein only amounts to carbon copy lookalike with accent. He looks suave and confident, more importantly he looks capable in action sequences. While Jason Statham might not possess incredible acting, he's a great fit for Transporter.
