The Mechanic


Arthur Bishop is a 'mechanic' - an elite assassin with a strict code and unique talent for cleanly eliminating targets. It's a job that requires professional perfection and total detachment, and Bishop is the best in the business. But when his mentor and close friend Harry is murdered, Bishop is anything but detached. His next assignment is self-imposed - he wants those responsible dead. His mission grows complicated when Harry's son Steve approaches him with the same vengeful goal and a determination to learn Bishop's trade. Bishop has always acted alone but he can't turn his back on Harry's son. A methodical hit man takes an impulsive student deep into his world and a deadly partnership is born. But while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deceptions threaten to surface and those hired to fix problems become problems themselves.

The Transporter


The Transporter (French: Le Transporteur) is a 2002 French action film directed by Louis Leterrier and Corey Yuen and written by Luc Besson, who was inspired by BMW Films' The Hire series.

The film stars Jason Statham as Frank Martin, a driver for hire – a mercenary "transporter" who will deliver anything, anywhere – no questions asked – for the right price. It also stars Shu Qi as Lai Kwai.

Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is a highly regarded, highly skilled driver known only as "The Transporter". The title character is a former Special Forces officer who, disillusioned with his former leadership, now lives on the French Mediterranean Coastline with a lucrative second career. He will transport anything, no questions asked, from Point A to Point B.

He operates by a set of rules:

  1. Never change the Deal.

  2. No names.

  3. Never open the package.

  4. Never make a promise you can't keep.

Transporter 3


Frank Martin (Jason Statham) has been pressured into transporting a package, together with Valentina (Natalya Rudakova), the kidnapped daughter of Leonid Vasilev (Jeroen Krabbé); as it turns out later, the objective is to deliver her. Both have a device attached to their wrists which is wired to explode if the person concerned goes more than 75 feet (22.86 metres) from the car. Vasilev is the head of the Environmental Protection Agency for Ukraine. Frank Martin travels from Marseille through Munich and Budapest until he ends up in Odessa on the Black Sea. With the help of Inspector Tarconi (François Berléand), Frank contends with the people who strong-armed him into taking the job, agents sent by the Ukrainian government to intercept him, and the general non-cooperation of his passenger.
