Reviews for Transporter 2
Statham is a tougher, smarter, and sexier heir to Jackie Chan. Alessandro Gassman and his sexy S&M girlfriend, Kate Nauta, welcome to the U.S. We need you.
Despite some serious flaws, and issues with the plot, "The Transporter 2" is a fun, silly, over the top, action film, that contain some truly inventive moments.
One scene, involving Frank's on-the-move solution for disarming a bomb under his car, is particularly impressive. However, that's just about all the film has going for it.
It's a lean, perfectly paced, unpretentious good time; it's what popcorn movies ought to be.
Besides a fun script and never-a-dull-moment directing, Jason Statham really deserves praise for his screen presence. Expect mindless action and have a great time.
... a compendium of pulp dialogue and B-movie plot twists that (director Louis) Leterrier can't zoom through fast enough.
An otherwise cruddy-looking assemblage of action-sequel clichés that benefits from Frank's dry-cleaned monosyllabic intensity but suffers from just about everything else.
Few bad movies are more aggravating than a sequel that betrays everything which made its predecessor entertaining.
The scene involving a bomb planted on the bottom of Martin's Audi A8 is bound to provoke an astonished gasp of disbelief from even the most action-movie-averse viewer.
Transporter 2 has the narrative skills and libido of a newly pubescent boy.
The car chases are fierce, the fight sequences are appropriately staged and shot, and Statham's allure as the title character is undeniable.
Interesting for the two or three people tracking the zeitgeist, but not terribly interesting for anyone else.
Things are a little bit too much this time, though -- to say all elements are exaggerated would be a gross understatement.
The Transporter films are pure garbage; ones that don’t quite reach the bottom of the chute since the XXX flicks will cushion their fall.
Although not without its entertaining moments, the result is so over the top that we'll never again be able to look at Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning's identical setup in Man on Fire without chortling.
