The Transporter Blu-ray
20th Century Fox | 2002 | 92 mins | Rated PG-13 | Nov 14, 2006
The Transporter(2002)Action | Crime | Thriller     Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is the best as what he does: transporting dangerous or illegal goods with no questions asked. But his last shipment, a beautiful young woman kidnapped by international slave traders, brings deadly complications to his delivery plans. Now Frank must kick into overdrive in a nonstop action-packed fight to save his precious cargo - and his life. For more details about The Transporter on Blu-ray, see The Transporter Blu-ray Review Starring: Jason Statham, Shu Qi, François Berléand, Matt Schulze, Ric Young Director: Corey Yuen The Transporter Blu-ray, Video Quality  Another early Fox release with MPEG-2 video, The Transporter nevertheless looks very good. This 1080p, 2.35:1 framed transfer is not quite as sharp and detailed as we've come to expect from the best releases, but it is one that is mostly impressive nevertheless. Some long distance shots suffer a bit from a smudgy appearances, but the close-ups fare rather well, exhibiting some wonderful detail in faces, clothing, and surfaces. Medium-distance shots are average. Flesh tones are a bit red but never stand out as a major issue. The print is mostly free of dirt and debris, though the rare scratch does pop up. Colors are not vibrant but rather natural, some of the shots outside of Martin’s house look fantastic. The rich color of the exterior of his home, as well as that of the water and the green of the trees surrounding it are breathtakingly beautiful, the location pretty enough to be a tourist attraction wherever it is (the film was shot in various locations around France). The action visuals are fantastic, the tracer rounds seen in some of the action sequences add a bit of flair and excitement to the film (and they look great, too). Black levels are strong, and the movie never exhibits excessive film grain. The Transporter is a strong early release from Fox, a studio I believe to be one of the best in the Blu-ray business in terms of picture quality. The Transporter Blu-ray, Audio Quality  Fox's DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless sound mix for The Transporter fits the action movie bill to perfection. It's loud, aggressive, and a blast to listen to. The film’s opening car chase sequence will blow you away with excellent dynamics, directionality, fidelity, and imaging (qualities present throughout the entirety of the track). The pulsating beats of the music, the revving of the engine, and the destruction wrought along the way comes to life in your media room, and for good measure, the subwoofer will pound your eardrums on several occasions. Keep in mind this is all describing the film's opening minutes; listeners are in for a major treat the rest of the way. This is a high-quality audio presentation befitting what you'd expect to hear at a top-notch theater. The rear channels receive quite the workout in nearly every scene, be it light ambient sounds or the heavy pounding of gunshots and explosions. The movie's first major action sequence, about thirty minutes in, is a parade of violent and toe-tapping sounds. A slick hip-hop beat, bullets, axes slammed into walls, screams, and other assorted effects work their way into every speaker. All of the shootouts are fantastically reproduced as rounds impact surfaces, shell casings drop onto the floor, and shots are heard flying through every channel. Dialogue is a bit bass-y (I could feel it reverberating ever so slightly through my feet at times) but it sounds fine. Punches, kicks, and throws are not only heard but also felt with a magnificently over-the-top thump. This track is never boring. The film relies heavily on its soundtrack, and this lossless presentation from Fox adds another dimension to the film and makes the experience of watching The Transporter in high definition all the more entertaining.
