Transporter 2 description
Transporter 2 knows what its audience wants and--like its title character--it delivers. This is a movie that has not only a fight choreographer but also a car stunt choreographer; a movie in which a female assassin wears nothing but a bra and panties because, presumably, additional clothing would be too cumbersome; a movie in which crashing through a concrete wall in order to leap over a four-lane street will not even rumple the hood of the hero's car; a movie in which a drunken supermodel, after her advances are chastely and gently rebuffed by the hero, says "Thanks for the respect--that's what I needed most"; a movie, in short, for those who liked the first Transporter but found it too subdued and character-driven. Jason Statham (The Italian Job) reprises his role as Frank Martin, a perhaps overly diligent chauffer who will break bones if his duty is impeded. The sheer glee with which Transporter 2 casts aside logic, probability, and the laws of physics is infectious. If the sequence in which Frank flips his car upside-down in order to detach the bomb attached to his undercarriage doesn't reduce you to intoxicated giggles, well...you're watching the wrong movie. Transporter 2 is utterly shameless, unstoppably ridiculous, and completely enjoyable. Also featuring Amber Valetta (Hitch), Jason Flemyng (Snatch), and Matthew Modine. --Bret Fetzer |

Completely idiotic, and completely enjoyable
|
| If the first Transporter film was a moderate guilty pleasure, then it's sequel is a bona-fide one at that. Jason Statham returns as Frank Martin, an expert driver who is on a different sort of job these days. As a favor, he's escorting the son of a wealthy couple (Matthew Modine, Amber Valletta) who soon becomes the target of a supplier (Alessandro Gassman) who has a dangerous virus at his disposal. Transporter 2 features even less character development this time around, not to mention even more unbelievable physics and some ridiculous action scenes involving Frank and his car to boot. Not to mention a female assassin (Kate Nauta) who frequently works in her bra and panties. Yeah, but despite what all the film has going against it, Transporter 2 manages to be enjoyable throughout it's running time even though a majority of it is completely idiotic. This is because of Statham's scowly charisma, as well as the fact that nothing about this film is taken seriously. All in all, if you enjoyed the first film, chances are that you'll probably dig this. |
