Frank Martin, a former special operative, is living a quiet life as a transporter of goods in the French Riviera. When he's coerced into a high-stakes heist by a femme fatale and her three accomplices, he must use his unique set of skills to outwit a ruthless Russian crime lord and his dangerous associates.

What Reviewers Say

  • The fight choreography and car chases provide some excitement, but are not enough to salvage a weak plot and wooden performances.

Google audience: Google users found the movie to be a disappointing entry in the franchise, citing a predictable plot and uninspired action. While some appreciated the car stunts, many felt the film lacked the engaging elements that made the previous movies successful.
