Caught between a forbidden romance and the expectations of his friends, aspiring DJ Cole Carter attempts to find the path in life that leads to fame and fortune.
An ensemble comedy that follows a group of old friends in a fantasy football league who care deeply about one another -- so deeply that they use every opportunity to make each other's lives miserable.
Frank Martin, played by newcomer Ed Skrein, a former special-ops mercenary, is now living a less perilous life - or so he thinks - transporting classified packages for questionable people. When Frank's father (Ray Stevenson) pays him a visit in the south of France, their father-son bonding weekend takes a turn for the worse when Frank is engaged by a cunning femme-fatale, Anna (Loan Chabanol), and her three seductive sidekicks to orchestrate the bank heist of the century. Frank must use his covert expertise and knowledge of fast cars, fast driving and fast women to outrun a sinister Russian kingpin, and worse than that, he is thrust into a dangerous game of chess with a team of gorgeous women out for revenge. From the producers of LUCY and the TAKEN trilogy, THE TRANSPORTER REFUELED is a fresh personification of the iconic role of Frank Martin, that launches the high-octane franchise into the present-day and introduces it to the next generation of thrill-seekers.

This is the best movie of the year. I have not really seen any previous Transporters (and never really liked the hardcore Jason Stratham-hard-hitting movies that seemed to drag) but this blew me away. DeMarre has a real knack for action. This is the most stylistic action movie and is a wild ride from start to finish. It is full of models, mayhem and more! Ed Skrein redefines the role of the Transporter- and is cool and calm and totally self-effacing. The plot keeps you engaged and the actions spills out all over the screen. It's like a BMW commercial with a berth on the Monte Carlo. Perfect movie to play over and over. The vision is clear- the transporter is a modern phenomenon- a perfect hero to save the day and to save the girl! It's the life of a true to life spy who is living an extraordinary life that does not come without danger- that gives it its thrill. It's a movie you will savor!
