The 'evil plot' is one of the dumbest ever in an action film...just stupid.

Reviews for Transporter 2
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.
The movie is streamlined and of a singular, rowdy and rousingly delivered purpose. Hurrah for spectacle.
If you can make the leap alongside Besson’s limitless imagination, this sequel tops the original
A perfectly outlandish and tight-knuckled action flick; a mindless piece of well-hewn escapism that delivers several borderline-retarded moments of mayhem.
... a compendium of pulp dialogue and B-movie plot twists that (director Louis) Leterrier can't zoom through fast enough.
Transporter 2 has the narrative skills and libido of a newly pubescent boy.
Things are a little bit too much this time, though -- to say all elements are exaggerated would be a gross understatement.
Those hooked by the opening schoolgirl punch-out will stay with it and viewers rolling their eyes at that delirious fun probably never should have paid their 10 bucks anyway.
A bigger, sillier plot; too many CG special effects; and not nearly enough straightforward action
There are so many terrifically ridiculous action scenes in this film; it’s impossible for you to not suspend your disbelief.
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.
stomping through each scene wearing his Blues Brothers suit and a scowl, Statham has a very commanding screen presence
Takes itself far too seriously, yet it's hard not to laugh at how ludicrous it is
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.
It's so busy trying to bolster its liabilities that it can't properly develop its assets.
It's a lean, perfectly paced, unpretentious good time; it's what popcorn movies ought to be.
