I hadn't heard anything about this movie before it showed up at the video store and I don't know why. The cinematography is amazing! The story is a souped-up and twisted take on 1985's "After Hours" with a dash of 1995's TV series "Strange Luck." I was impressed with Paul Walker and Vera Farmiga and blown away by the excellent extended cast. This is one of those movies I know I'll be watching again and again and still finding something new each time. I highly recommend that everyone watch it!

While you're at it check out "After Hours" and see if you can get your hands on any "Strange Luck" episodes.

Shakespeare it isn't, but it's not for the plot that I watch the Transporter movies. The action is excellent and is even better if you are able to suspend your disbelief for an hour or so. There are a number of scenes that are so outrageous that you need to decide if you're going to buy in or get out. I bought in. There were also a couple of obvious blue screen moments and several stunts that were totally telegraphed, but otherwise fast and clever. The only disappointments for me were wardrobe related - he had too much stubble and wore way too many clothes. There was plenty of T&A for the guys but we waited in vain for the movie to give even a little something to the ladies... no such luck. In spite these minor failings, I highly recommend that you go along for the ride. I'll certainly be back again - Transporter 3 anyone?
