Stevenson and Skrein have chemistry together, and it will be a sad day when one or the other departs from the franchise. Instead of Inspector Marcel Tarconi François Berléand interfering with Frank Martin's activities, the new Transporter has to put up with his dear old dad, and British actor Ray Stevenson relishes the parental role with scene-stealing charm. Clearly, if the franchise performs at the box office like the Statham trilogy, Skrein could own the role until he sheds that lean, hungry, wolfish tenacity that he brings to his younger Frank Martin.Meantime, 'Brick Mansions' director Camille Delamarre stages several dynamic scenes in this swiftly-paced, $22-million thriller with as many audacious but entertaining escapades as any of Statham's 'Transporter' epics ever delivered. Add to it his blue-collar British accent, and Skrein is reminiscent of Michael Caine when he was a Young Turk. Skrein looks like he was born to kick butt, and he radiates a raw-edged spontaneity that makes him ideal as Statham's replacement. Skrein looks like a far younger Frank Martin, and I believe writer/producer Luc Besson cast the former 'Game of Thrones' actor for this quality.

Because he fits Frank Martin like a surgical glove.
