01.15.07Internet A very loose remake of DOA all meth'd up to appeal to today's MTV audiences starring Jason Statham (I guess Transporter is when he all of a sudden became an action star?) and you get to see Amy Smart in her underwear (which is nice) really quick, like everything in this movie; like a video game it's so quick (complete with VG title and post-credits ending), there's no time for pesky things like character or plot because if this movie gets boring then the main character dies so that can't happen so instead it's a cinematic daydream filled with outrageous violence and funny little things like having the guy be able to read the subtitles or subtitling without translating or putting dirty words on his forehead when he asks someone if it's written there (kind of like an update on Natural Born Killers without all the Oliver Stone message-y nonsense or Tommy Lee Jones) so if you're not being dazzled by the stunts then you're laughing at the little touches that are all designed to make you forget that the movie that you're watching really isn't about anything at all but who cares because it's a fun ride and everybody likes fun rides, right? right.
