Frank Martin is the slick, energetic driver and main character portrayed by Jason Statham from The Transporter movie series.

Martin is an ex-marine who earns an evidently wealthy living off of "transporting" people. In the first movie he has an established reputation in the underground for taking people to and from places, presumably mostly illegal transfers. He is an impressive driver, able to maneuver seemingly impossibly driving tactics while having perfect control of his vehicle. He is also very stringent when it comes to his car and the various "rules" of his business. His stringency is often beneficial, as he always has perfect timing. Aside from being an excellent driver, he is just as accomplished as a fighter.
