Top CriticIn essence, it's more of the same.
09/10/05
Top CriticBesson doesn't fiddle with the first movie's formula -- impossible car chases punctuated by impossible martial arts sequences.
09/06/05
Top CriticCareens wildly off course before finally running out of gas.
09/06/05
Top CriticStatham isn't the best thing in Transporter 2; he's essentially the only thing.
09/02/05
Top CriticAlthough 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.
09/02/05
Top CriticDismiss notions of plausibility or character development, as these criteria don't apply to the worth of a car-chase, martial-arts-driven extravaganza that follows the successful recipe established in The Transporter (2002).
09/02/05
Top CriticIf you can get past the impossibilities -- and we know it's a lot to ask -- Transporter 2 is a fun time at the movies.
09/02/05
Top CriticWith cartoon villains and cartoon victims all the lane-changing, gear-shifting, and wrong-way-on-the-freeway driving seems like a meaningless waste of time.
09/02/05
Top CriticThe film is too empty-headed to convey any real sense of peril, yet isn't absurd enough to be appreciated as black comedy. It leaves you feeling distracted, not transported.
09/02/05
Top CriticTransporter 2 is faster than a speeding jet ski, more powerful than a hidden motive and cheesier than a Camembert factory.
09/02/05
Top CriticEven with so few requirements, Transporter 2 runs on empty.
09/02/05
Top CriticAn otherwise cruddy-looking assemblage of action-sequel clichés that benefits from Frank's dry-cleaned monosyllabic intensity but suffers from just about everything else.
09/02/05
Top CriticThe Transporter 2 is good trash, the sort of loud bang-bang flick that's so over-the-top you buy it with a laugh.
09/02/05
Top CriticIn terms of raw, heart-thumping action, The Transporter 2 out-Bonds Bond.
09/02/05
Top CriticBecause in the movie industry you can always have way too much of a good thing, here comes Transporter 2, a sequel that makes it clear that the outrageous antics of the first movie had a one-time-only charm.
09/02/05
Top CriticTransporter 2 is high-octane fluff, a feature-length car commercial on steroids that never tries, or pretends to be, anything more. At that level it works.
09/02/05
Top CriticTransporter 2 delivers a satisfying late-summer escapist treat.
09/01/05
Top CriticThough both Transporter films are driven by the same empty-headed video-game slickness, Transporter 2 surpasses its less focused predecessor on almost every level.
