This is so long overdue it's not even remotely funny. After years of toiling in the B-ranks Australian stylist Russell Mulcahey could finally be getting his shot at prime time with upcoming action flick Courier. Despite helming the original - and should have been only - Highlander, a cult classic that has easily survived its subsequent bastardization, Mulcahey has never really been able to attract a-list talent or scripts but with Adrien Brody in the lead of his latest that could be changing ...

A million bucks, just to a deliver a briefcase...

It's a job too good to be true, especially if you're the COURIER, a daredevil carrier renowned for taking on impossible missions who's never, ever missed a drop. The only catch is delivering it to someone who can't be found, not even by the FBI, and when that someone is the notorious, never seen King of the Underworld EVIL SIVLE who's very name makes the toughest tremble, there's a lot more than reputation and money on the line.

With a baying pack of double crossing feds, conniving crooked cops and ruthless rival crime bosses in hot pursuit, the Courier trail blazes a world-wide chase for the most wanted man in the land. Drugged, beaten, tortured and two timed, the bloodhound bagman discovers easy money was never so hard, and tracking the elusive kingpin to Las Vegas learns just why Evil is the one person on the planet no one can find, and why he really is the King...

The plot has some obvious similarities to the setup for the Transporter films but Brody is in a whole different class than Jason Statham and with a script from the writers of 3:10 To Yuma and Wanted this could be something rather good. The film is in pre-production now, more as we get it.
