Fighting on film.

The scene I am including in today's post is a fight scene from the movie "The transporter(2002.)"
This scene took place after the main character Frank Martin(Jason Statham,) had completed a job as a transporter for hire. throughout the video we see him lose his most prized posession (his car) and go through the motions of revenge, in which he goes back to the place where he'd made his delivery, to take down the thugs who had planted the bomb in his car. the entire scene has minimal dialogue, but shows immense amounts of emotion and range through the way in which they fight, and how Statham interacts with his environment. The choreography for the fight was spot on and played out pretty much flawlessly. And the musical choice for the piece was both fitting, and entertaining, giving the scene not only a sense of purpose, but a slight tone of humor as well.
In a final touch of irony, Statham's character finds the garage, and takes one of the cars there as colateral for the loss of his own.
I think this movie was extremely well put together, and just this scene alone was something of a marvel in and of itself. Fully recommend the film to anyone who enjoys a good action flick.
