It's hard to believe there's a third Transporter movie - just as it's hard to believe there was a third Resident Evil and that there'll be a third Underworld movie. But we've been told that straight men enjoy these films very much. And straight men - we're also told - are very loyal when it comes to movie franchises.

Kinda like kids and their Shrek and Ice Age cartoons. Even Jason Statham's armored Audi A8 W12 was carried over from the last installment.

Jason Statham, who has perfected the art of looking very believable in cartoonish B-grade action movies, once again plays the transporter whose job is to drive something/someone to a given place. This time it's a Ukrainian girl, played by Russian actress Natalya Rudakova, who has more freckles on her face than there are stars in the sky. Seriously, freckles do not look sexy when they are anything more than 10.

Transporter 3 boasts some very good car chase scenes as well as terrific fights choreographed by Corey Yuen. But for gay audiences, nothing beats the hilarious moment when Natalya tries to seduce the transporter and he rebuffs her, prompting her to blurt: "You're the gay!"

The expression on Jason Statham's face: Priceless.
