Saw it tonight. Was not expecting much. They did not disappoint except that I should have expected less. OMG was this a bad movie. Audi S8, several of them, saved the day. Amazing the amount of rear wheel spin on those things however. LOL. And the car didn't even have Bluetooth. He as constantly holding his cell phone. Pretty much product placement vehicle for Audi, Gray Goose Vodka and a few other brands.

There were simply too many unbelievable things going on. Like a woman gets shot in the abdomen, barely survives a MacGyver-like surgery (cobwebs, vodka and sugar) and is having sex a few hours later. It's honestly like the writers quit 1/3 of the way into the script.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. You've been warned.

Lol, those type injuries in movies where the person miraculously recovers annoys me too.

I had back fusion surgery in early June and I'm still recovering. Ha.

If only your surgeon had included vodka in the mix, in a only few hours you too could be having.........

Hey Fix, I really respect your service and your posts, so don't take this personally...

Unrealistic things in a Transporter sequel?... well... duh.

snagitseven

a Screwdriver?

Fixeroh

You have me there......LOL....... With car influenced movies one always expects 'unrealistic' things. But I would hope they tend to be related to the car footage only. When you get gut shot, almost bleed to death, get treated in a dirty warehouse and are doing the nasty 6 hours later, THAT is even beyond ludicrous. The previous Transporters didn't seem to stretch things so far. But you're right, I should have known better going into this.

Now the Expendables 3.......that was a movie!

The problem is that Ronin is out there, arguably, the perfect VFX-free car chase.

Fixeroh

I totally agree with you. Very good movie in its own right but the car chase was tremendous. John Frankenheimer movie I believe. His movie, Grand Prix, with James Garner is one of my absolute favorite movies ever. I'm a huge F1 fan and the F1 cars of the early sixties really make my heart race. Sadly, I've been very disappointed with F1 the past 2 years and refuse to even watch the races on TV. Think I'll rewatch Ronin in the near future. Thanks.

arU4ic

Yep, Frankenheimer, thanks for the suggestion, I'll watch Grand Prix asap.

Ronin is fantastic, DeNiro at his best too... "Ever kill anyone? " DeNiro, "I hurt someone's feeling once." So good.

I'll let you know how I like GP... James Garner is great as well.
