So it's the Transporter universe?
Have you seen the stunt in one of the Transporter films where he removes a bomb attached to his car? Possibly the most stupid stunt I've ever seen in any film ever.

Bill Casey: Reagan's CIA director and OSS veteran who served as chief covert wrangler during the Iran-Contra years was, under Richard Nixon, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Comission. His profession: Wall Street lawyer and stock trader.
In 1984 ABC News was devoting serious attention to a CIA scandal in Hawaii connected to investment firm BBRDW (Bishop, Baldwin, Rewald, Dillingham, and Wong.) The BBRDW story was lifting a veil connected to money laundering, drugs and the failed CIA drug bank named Nugen-Hand. Bill Casey and the CIA's general counsel Stanley Sporkin put extreme pressure on both the network and anchor Peter Jennings to stop their coverage. During the semi-public battle ABC's stock dropped from $67 to $59 a share, and by December, the firm Capital Cities was trying to buy the network. Capital Cities successfully completed the buyout of ABC in March of 1985, after which the CIA conveniently dropped a suit against the network.
Bill Casey had helped to found Capital Cities and had served both as its lawyer and as a member of its board of directors in the years between his service as SEC chairman for Nixon and as director of Central Intelligence for Reagan.

The thing about the 80s blockbusters is that they were great at delivering shameless and tasteless entertainment but without being distracted from the over-arching, big, profound, human themes that they tackled. I noticed this when I re-watched Uncle Buck, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Cocoon on the TV over Christmas.
I mean, Cocoon, right, raises some really fascinating and fundamental questions about age, time, fate and the ethics of living a good life, but then it ruins all this by sending all the wrinklies up in a space ship where they can live forever. Planes, Trains and Automobiles basically fucks around for the whole film, dropping little clues to the ultimate emotional pay-off which comes like a kick in the face in the last five minutes.
The new movies are not, I don't think, as good at honoring thematic clarity, which means they do not really connect with the emotions at the same gut level.
