Consensus: A stylish and more focused sequel to The Transporter, the movie is over-the-top fun for fans of the first movie.

Undemanding punters are guaranteed 90 minutes of dopey, derivative and gloriously disposable entertainment.

Sure, it's blissfully energetic, but it's also exhaustingly idiotic.

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.

Transporter 2 is so lightweight and frivolous, it makes one of Roger Moore's Bond epics look like Crime and Punishment.

I'm pretty sure Transporter 2 is the dumbest movie I've ever seen.

If you're at all picky about the laws of physics or if you liked the superior first film, I do not recommend seeing this film sober.

The ending sinks the enterprise (both literally and figuratively) with bad FX and subpar action-movie one-liners.

All action, all the time, with no pauses to catch your breath, or, more significantly, to figure out what’s going on.

It’s not a bad sequel, but the original was, well, original. There are some overplayed elements, but the action is snappy and the danger is credible.
