The Transporter 3 (2009)

I’ll be honest; I didn’t know that The Transporter is one of the movies which had a sequel. I thought there was no Transporter 2 until I knew there was a Transporter 3. Anyway, if Too Fast Too Furious is about lavish sports cars, The Transporter highlights expensive, refined cars like BMWs, Mercedes, Lancer etc. You get what I mean. The movie is as usual, the Transporter is paid to transport something somewhere. No names, no questions, and always on time. The problem lies in how he is forced to do his job and how this time, he is practically ‘attached’ to his car.

The plot is simple as it goes something like this… Bad guys want something; they find someone suitable for the job. The person for the job gets into someone directly involved in the job, and the suitable guy seeks to save his new found interest. It’s sort of like Bangkok Dangerous. Nonetheless, the driving skills on display save this movie any further embarrassment, as I thought the skills on display were just fantastic. This is a movie worth to watch, but I’ll be honest to say it will get lame if Transporter 4 does something similar.

21

Caught it @ STAR CINEPLEX, KUCHING
Its 2 HOUR & 2 MINUTES of story telling.
You should catch it because YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO COUNT CARDS IN VEGAS.
You should not watch this movie if DON'T SEE THE POINT OF COUNTING CARDS.

The trailer of 21 was interesting. I admit I went to see this movie because the trailer made it interesting. Nonetheless, all those thoughts changed once I was in the hall, watching the movie. The plot is lame, and predictable. The story is slow, despite taking place mostly in 'happening' Vegas.

If you wonder what this movie is about, I'll give you some spoilers because I do feel that this movie is not really worth your money. Its generally about a 21 year old genius, wanting to go to Harvard Med, but having insufficient funds at disposal. He eventually go enticed to join a group of MIT students under one professor which count cards in Vegas during the weekend. Well, he got really into it, and got cocky, which led to him loosing $300000 in a single night. This made the professor angry, and hence he was the new leader of the group. However, being novice in leadership, he got caught counting cards, and eventually signed up with a security casino personnel which asked him to fish out the professor, which he actually did successfully.

The story ends with him getting in Harvard, and him getting back with his old friends which he lost along the process of being a the best in counting cards.

Ahh.. I told you the plot was boring and lame. Don't bother watching this movie, unless you want to spend 2 hours dozing out in the cinema.
