Let’s just get the obvious out of the way: Ed Skrein isn’t Jason Statham. What begins as a routine mission turns into a personal quest, as his father is dragged into a messy scenario involving a prostitution ring, bank robbery, and some fast driving of various vehicles. Just as the two are settling into a sort of father/son groove, Frank Jr. While it may sound like a by-the-numbers action flick, THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED is a lot of fun (in a testosterone-fuelled, action flick kind of way).It’s 2010 and Frank Martin (Ed Skrein), Transporter extraordinaire, is dealing with his greatest challenge yet: the retirement of his father (Ray Stevenson). With no choice but to agree, Frank transports Anna's team to a nightclub, where the patrons are gassed, Anna and her girls commit a high-tech cyber-crime and Frank gets in one almighty fight with the nightclub security team on their dinner break. The situation takes a turn for the personal when Frank discovers that his father (Ray Stevenson), who goes by the name “Frank Martin Snr.”, has been kidnapped by Anna and given a toxic drug that will need an antidote to stop Martin-the-elder from passing into the nether-realm. At first, Frank treats it as just another job, done by his rules (or else he walks away from the job.) Helping Anna and her friends pull a heist on an exclusive bank is just the beginning of his misadventures with a quartet of beauties making their former employees pay for their mistreatment, but incurring their collective Eastern European wrath at the same time. There's some justification for Skrein's character to want to protect his real name, as the wanton level of destruction he engages in with his souped-up Audi A8 is more than enough for him to be disqualified from driving anywhere in the world forever! Martin's troubles start when he is contracted to help the beautiful Anna (Loan Chabanol) in her efforts to escape her Russian Mafia overlords.

Given the relative lack of distance between THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED and the the Statham movies (7 years), it's fair to assume that 'Frank Martin' must be some kind of code name that all Transporters use it protect their protagonist’s identities! In this latest version, viewers are introduced to Frank Martin (Ed Skrein) the name of the character played by Jason Statham in the original trilogy of films.

THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED attempts to reboot a franchise that started strong with the original Jason Statham film in the early 2000s but fell away with successive sequels, the last of which graced cinema screens back in 2008.
