The Courier is a by the numbers mediocre action thriller with a few decent actors who can't do anything to elevate the poor script and story. Furthermore the music score which is supposed to be exciting is more annoying than anything else.
The premise of the film is that a witness is supposed to testify via satellite link against a crime boss played by Gary Oldman. A courier played by Olga Kurylenko delivers the equipment for the satellite link up. It turns out that the package is in fact a ciyanide device ment to kill the witness. Surprise, surprise but that doesn't happen. She saves the witness and keeps on fighting against corrupt agents and hired thugs who literally can't find them in a locked down car park. And when they do find them they turn into incompetents and miss every chance to take them out. It is revealed later that the courier is in fact an ex special ops member and there is an inconsequential back story to prolong the movie. Ludicrous doesn't even cover it. And the dialogue as well as the acting by the supporting cast gets worse and worse as the movie goes on.
Overall a poor effort which Gary Oldman probably took on in order to finance his directorial project coming out in a year or two and the others took on for a paycheck and a chance to work with Gary Oldman.
