Former Special Forces officer Frank Martin will deliver anything to anyone for the right price, and his no-questions-asked policy puts him in high demand. But when he realizes his latest cargo is alive, it sets in motion a dangerous chain of events. The bound and gagged Lai is being smuggled to France by a shady American businessman, and Frank works to save her as his own illegal activities are uncovered by a French detective.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Corey Yuen personally directed the oil fight scene while Louis Leterrier handled dialogue scenes — you can literally feel the handoff.
This film basically invented the 'Statham genre' and paid for Crank, which means we owe it everything.
