Entertainment site Polygon has published a piece highlighting that *Transporter 3*, the third instalment in Jason Statham's action franchise, began streaming free of charge on Tubi on 1 July. The article frames the 2008 film as an underrated entry in the series, noting that despite being the highest-grossing of the original trilogy, it was also the worst-reviewed, and argues it remains well worth watching.

The piece praises Statham's character, Frank Martin, a professional driver bound by three rules who is drawn into an international blackmail scheme while transporting a package and a Ukrainian woman, Valentina, from France to Hungary. It acknowledges the film's weaknesses — a grating performance from newcomer Natalya Rudakova and a plot that keeps Statham confined to a car for much of the runtime, giving it a "Jason Bourne"-style grounded feel — but concludes that its outlandish driving stunts and stylish action make it consistently entertaining, even if it is the weakest of the three films.
