Synopsis
Franck is a courier like no other.  He will take anything or anyone, anywhere, any time – if the price is high enough.   His clients are gangland bosses who expect a discrete, efficient service.  His latest assignment involves delivering a large parcel.  Franck’s personal detachment is compromised when he discovers the parcel contains a young woman...


Film Review
This big budget action thriller is clearly not a film for all tastes.  As in most films of its type, plot and characterisation are negligible, and what we have instead is a relentless spectacle of car chases, fights and action stunts.  Depending on your age, intelligence and discernment, the film is either a high-octane, adrenalin-pumping romp, or an unbearably tedious juvenile fantasy which will have you switching channels in under five minutes.
