Watch this if you liked: The “Transporter” franchise

The Good, the Bad and the Unfueled remake:

• The overly simple plot is made complex and confusing with side plots and action scenes that are only slotted in to make the movie longer but not any better.

• The cast is given no chance to shine as the script doesn't call for much character development. In fact, some of the characters don't seem to have a set arc. For example, the femme fatale characters who are supposed to be strong women will suddenly switch to being weaklings.

• Ed Skrein is able to portray his role quite well, however, despite the weak script. But Ray Stevenson caught the short end of the stick as even though he gives an engaging performance as Frank Sr., the script calls for him to become a hopeless spy in order to keep the story going.

• The camerawork and editing are commendable, a saving grace for the otherwise not-so-watchable movie.

Trivia:

• Ed Skrein left "Game of Thrones" in 2011 to star in this movie.
