Frank Martin is back! He's as cut, kickass, and bald as ever.
They've put Frank back overseas away from the nasty skinny American blonde bitch from part 2, the stupid geek politician, and his job as a cheuffer. As Egan said, it is like part 2 never happened with how this one goes.
Frank has to transport a person again, like in the first movie. This time a hot bitch from Ukraine (who is not an actor, just some hottie the writer wanted in the movie, she does a great job). This time however, Frank can't just decide one thing or another and break his rules to screw the bad guys. He has a bracelet, along with the girl, that will combine chemicals and blow up if he moves 75 feet away from his car.
All kinds of crap happens, as you'd expect from a movie with Jason Statham, including but not limited to:
A sweet bike ride
A Statham striptease which will just make you melt if you have man crushes on cut bald guys!
Some good fights
Sweet car chases
dirtbag bad guy city
etc
It goes back to the original in the cheesey style of the movie as far as the story goes, along with the ridiculous music and love interest. I was thoroughly entertained throughout.
The one complaint I have, might not even be a complaint as much as an "I see the positives and negatives of doing it this way" and that's for the fight scenes. In the first and second movie, you could see everything perfectly. It was obviously a well planned, choreographed, and orchestrated fight scene with ridiculous things happening.
In the latest installment, all these things are still here, but at a much faster pace. Literally you can see that some of the fight has been sped up to make impacts sick and to make it just insane. Along with that comes faster editing. Its not on the level of the Bourne movies where you can't see a fucking thing going on, but it is also not the easy on the eyes fights from the first two. It helps them so they dont look like a ballet act, but it hurts them because I enjoyed the ballet looking slick fight scenes from the other movies.
Bottom line, you still see that mother fucker beat the shit out of a bunch of bad guys and shit, so its all good.
I read a review saying this was a dvd rental at best. Eat shit! You need to go see Statham tear it up on the BIG SCREEN so his bald head is shown in full force!
