Frank is hired by Anna (Loan Chabanol), one of said call girls for a secret job that turns out to be robbing Karasov and his partners blind, while attempting to keep her identity a secret. A bit of Frank's British military background also surfaces when a former colleague, Arkady Karasov (Radivoje Bukvic), turns out to be the CEO of prostitution in all of Monaco. Refueled also attempts to give us a little history on Frank by bringing his equally shadowy father (Ray Stevenson of "Rome," Punisher: War Zone and the Thor films), who claims he's an Evian salesman, but historically always turns up in "transitioning" nations. And just to make sure we don't fall asleep due to all of this lack of effort or originality, Refueled is set in the world of Monaco's prostitution game, giving the filmmakers ample excuses to include beautiful, scantily clad women (although setting a PG-13-rated film in such an environment is about as exciting as a LEGO playset of Amsterdam's Red Light District - actually that sounds more interesting). It's not that Besson and director Camille Delamarre ( Brick Mansions editor on Transporter 3, Colombiana and Taken 2, all Besson productions) don't make some effort it's just that the effort is made entirely in staging the action scenes, with no real though given to an original plot or characters in whose fate we ever feel invested. There's no debating Skrein is less of a personality and is far more generic looking than Stathan (Skrein might be taller), so the only possible excuse to make The Transporter Refueled is a cash grab on the series name. But the new driver/bodyguard Frank Martin (Ed Skrein of "Game of Thrones" and the villain Ajax in the upcoming Deadpool film), I'm not quite sure what the filmmakers had hoped to achieve. Granted, the films were adapted into a television series with another actor as well, but that almost makes sense to a degree.
