This is the 4th movie in the series. The first three stared Jason Statham (sigh). There is a new TV series on TNT also based on this character with Chris Vance playing the tittle role. Ed Skrein plays Frank Martin in this new movie. Oh, he always wears a black suit, a white shirt and a black tie as his work ensemble..

The short overview is that Frank Martin, an extra military special ops soldier, is a driver taking a "package" from point A to point B or sometimes C - Z. The package can be anything that needs special handling, including people. As in this movie, Frank is hired to pick up 3 women all dressed alike and leaving a bank with the police hot on their trail. Frank finally delivers them to their safe house which is an abandoned warehouse. There Frank finds his father, Frank Sr, played by the handsome, mature actor, Ray Stevenson, drugged and tied up. Another one of the "girls" had kidnapped him to ensure that Frank would complete the job.

Frank only drives spiffy souped-up Audi sedans that even feature rolling license plates in order to hide from the Police. The "girls" are ex-prostitutes and are after their former boss, a Russian thug, Arkady, played by Anatole Taubman. And they do get their revenge but at a high price.

Well Dear Readers, needless to say there is lots of car chases, double crossing, fight scenes and even a great boat chase that keeps the action moving along. Also, this movie had to have been shot in the south of France as the scenery, whizzing by at warp speed, was lovely.
The Travelling Toe gives this movie 1 big toe up with a dramamine pill for car sickness!
