The Transporter (2002)


INFO: [IMDb]

Synopsis: Ex-Special Forces operator Frank Martin lives what seems to be a quiet life along the French Mediterranean, hiring himself out as a mercenary "transporter" who moves goods--human or otherwise--from one place to another. No questions asked. Carrying out mysterious and sometimes dangerous tasks in his tricked-out BMW, Frank adheres to a strict set of rules, which he never breaks. Rule One: Never change the deal. Rule Two: No names--Frank doesn't want to know whom he's working for, or what he's transporting. Rule Three: never look in the package. Frank's newest transport seems no different from the countless ones he's done in the past. He's been hired by an American known only as "Wall Street" to make a delivery; but when Frank stops along the route, he notices his package is moving.

There's very little that can surprise The Transporter, but young Jack Billings has done just that; Frank has unexpectedly bonded with Jack, age 6, who he drives to and from school. But when Jack is kidnapped, Frank must use his battle-tested combat skills to retrieve the boy and thwart the kidnappers' master plan to release a virus that will kill anyone with whom it comes in contact.

The employer of the dead man shows up, forces Frank to take the job, snaps a bracelet on his wrist that will explode if Frank gets more than 75 feet from his car, and sends Frank on a journey east with the young woman and a trunk full of something.

Russell Peters: Comedy Now (2004)


Synopsis: The title track of this stand-up comedy DVD, Comedy Now! Starring Russell Peters, is his 2004 show as seen on the Comedy Network. This is the better of the two shows on this DVD, not only because Peters has 7 more years experience and does a slightly more varied set but also because this show ends with his classic and audience favorite bit Somebody’s Gonna Get A Hurt Real Bad. This stand-up comic focuses a lot of his material on ethnic and racial differences and hides a solid punch behind some very good jokes. At lot of his humour is at the expense of the Indian community and Russell uses that to segue into more edgy comedy. He even takes on white folk in his Comedy Now! set and his bit on the Canadian accent and white people swearing is absolutely hilarious. His African names and South Africa material is also quite good.
