BY ROBERT W. BUTLER - McClatchy Newspapers  The "Transporter" series turned Brit actor Jason Statham into a movie star. But maybe it's time to hang up his car keys. He's better than this."Transporter 3" again finds Statham playing Frank Martin, a driver for hire known throughout the underworld for always completing his job.

This time Frank finds himself kidnapped by a sinister American (Robert Knepper) and forced to tour Europe with an exploding bracelet around his wrist. If he strays too far from his car, he'll blow up.

Meanwhile he must follow the instructions transmitted to him by cell phone and try to get along with his passenger, a bratty Ukrainian redhead named Valentina (Natalya Rudakova, giving what may be the year's most irritating performance).Valentina's papa is a government bigwig in environmental protection; the bad guys have kidnapped Valentina to force the old man to sign a deal allowing them to bring tankers filled with radioactive waste into the country.There are a few decent moments here -- at least when improbably named director Olivier Megaton slows down the action enough that we can see some of the feats performed by the stunt drivers.Too often, though, "Transporter 3" is empty Eurotrash, with rapid-fire editing that turns everything into a blur.Things aren't helped by the awful dialogue, spoken by a cast of European actors who have been badly dubbed. Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen's screenplay seems to have been written in another language and carelessly translated into English."Transporter 3's" sole reason for existing is to bask in Statham's wryly manly aura. The film clearly recognizes that he has become a sex symbol, wasting no opportunity to get his shirt off so that the camera can run its lens up and down his impressive abs.Frank even has developed a fighting style in which he turns his clothing into weapons, leaving him sweaty and half-naked by the time he has vanquished a dozen leather-jacketed thugs.Statham has a strong screen presence and exudes a working-class intelligence that can be affable or menacing. Wish he'd find some projects that allowed him to put those qualities to better use.
