Statham's first starring role attempted to cast him as an powerful post-millennial action hero in directors Louis Letterier and Corey Yuean's fast-paced, check-your-logic-chip-at-the-door thriller "The Transporter" (2002), which further introduced him to American audiences but failed to fully establish Statham alongside other A-list new-wave action stars such as Vin Diesel. More advantageous to his career was a turn in the ensmble of the 2003 remake of the heist classic "The Italian Job," a slick if conventional thriller in which he played Handsome Rob, an English race-car whiz, world-class womanizer, getaway driver and what the New York Times called "the movie's grinning testosterone shot." He also made a crackerjack villain in the equally gimmicky and energetic thriller "Cellular" (2004) before reprising his role as the driver Frank Martin for the lesser sequel "The Transporter 2" (2005).
