'Refueled', Yet Still Running on Fumes

'Transporter: Refueled' is another failed attempt at a reboot. Both Statham and the series original director are gone. What we are left with is a watered down, half-baked (and not even half-assed) version of what was once a fun action franchise. There's nothing remotely stimulating. The action is low-grade standard stuff, the actors are forgettable, and the rushed plot is needlessly made to look complicated. One could get some possible laughs out of the dumb cheese permeating most of the poor writing, but there's very few unintentional laughs to merit that specific kind of dumb enjoyment. No, this movie is just plain dumb. An empty vessel worth little effort and even less time for viewing. You're better off watching the first two 'Transporter' flicks. They get everything right that this movie does wrong.
