I took my daughters to see it and I have to say it was nice family fun. Old fans of the series will recognize some of the monsters from the very first seasons. Just as in the first episode, it goes against the rule that everything has a rational explanation. Supernatural forces are yet again called to animate the bad guys.
The story is not that bad, the animation and special effects are a bit too much for little ones to follow, but they all seemed to have a blast.
The acting is the bad point. It seems these actors are tired of the franchise already and seemed to be tied by a contract for at least one more episode. And you can tell they are bored. Plus they look awful and tired! Only Lillard makes an effort.

This is nothing but a simple action flick with a dumb story line, which is usual with most of the simple action flicks.
It seems that Luc Besson has decided to stop directing and to start producing instead.
Check out his IMDB profile: he has a lot on the grill.
The Transporter has a few good ideas and, as Frenchman livign in America, I thought I could just go watch a French action movie in English just to see what my home country looks like these days.
That's why I truly enjoyed how the cops are made fun of.
Some parts are truly original and, even if the plot sucks, it remains good entertainment, but not worth $8.00. Definitely a wait for the video.

The CART league is desperately trying to get some attention from an American public mostly interested in Nascar racing and an international public mostaly attracted to the FIA Formula 1 championship.
It's trying to make CART look like a spectacular sport, which it is, but with the wrong angle.
It's not because a motor sport generates a lot of crashes that it's a good one.
Yes, motor fans like to witness crashes in Nascar or in F1, because the driver usually walks away, with the exception of an Earnhardt Sr or of a Senna.
But it's not necessarily what it's all about.
Driven has no real focus. It tries to focus on the racing events, but it does not do a good job at it. What is this? A video game commercial?
It also tries to focus on the drivers. Besides a few shots on the real drivers, the rest of it is about a bunch of totally unrealistic characters.
I hate to say it, but the whole movie is a waste and an insult to the racing fans.
