Oddly enough, the prologue takes place in 1995 and the bulk of the film takes place “15 years later”, meaning the movie is set in 2010. Naturally, the plot is a mere inconvenience and secondary to the action, and scenes that are intended to be emotional generally fall flat. While the stunts never reach the ludicrous heights of the previous films, there is still fun to be had and the pace is kept sufficiently brisk with chases, hand-to-hand fights and action sequences set on airport runways and in luxury yachts. Stunt coordinator Laurent Demianoff and car stunt coordinator Michel Julienne are both frequent collaborators of Besson’s. The production values are solid enough, with sub-par computer-generated effects kept to a minimum. It is slick, glossy and glamourous, even more of an Audi commercial than the recent Hitman: Agent 47 was. All that cynicism aside, it is still possible to enjoy The Transporter Refueled as disposable entertainment.
