Director: Corey Yuen, Louis Leterrier
Cast: Jason Statham, Qi Shu, Matt Schulze, Francois Berleand, Doug Rand

A professional getaway car driver breaks one of his own rules and checks what he's transporting in the boot of his car; it turns out to be a kidnapped Asian girl. A series of explosive and well-executed action set-pieces and chase scenes follow one another until you're completely numb. This is one of those films in which everyone is an expert in martial arts (just so the fight scenes can be drawn out). Followed by a sequel.
