The movie has more lags in action than either of the previous episodes, and somehow the dialogue is even more daft

Transporter 3 is the most frustrating entry into a series that has never set the bar terribly high.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Liam Lacey
If you're going to a no-frills action film, though, at least you want the action to be entertaining, which is where Transporter 3 falls down.
Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
The villainous Polluter-in-Chief is eloquently played by Robert Knepper, familiarly loathsome as T-Bag on Fox's "Prison Break." And when Knepper and Statham get together, there's a fine showdown of grimaces.

For those disappointed in the grim, gritty feel of the latest James Bond movie and who long for the absurdity of the Roger Moore-era entries, Transporter 3, ought to fit the bill.

Transporter 3 is so far over the top that it more than once spills into outright cartoonishness.
The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
Easily the worst in a trilogy that has been notable mainly for the presence of its everyman action star, Transporter 3 is a nonsensical, choppily edited bore, with awful dialogue.
In a series elevated by high-flying ridiculousness, Transporter 3 falls a couple of sequences short of the standard, but it does show off Statham's considerable dirt-biking skills. For that, at least, it's kinda rad.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker
As action movies seem to get more complicated and convoluted with international conspiracies and technological concepts, the "Transporter" franchise is refreshingly simple.
