Reviews for Transporter 2
Undemanding punters are guaranteed 90 minutes of dopey, derivative and gloriously disposable entertainment.
I'm pretty sure Transporter 2 is the dumbest movie I've ever seen.
The sequel is a better film than the original, as if writer-producer Luc Besson had a clearer idea of what he wanted to do (and didn't want to do).
From bang-up beginning to blow-up ending, this trip is clearly just good escapist fun.
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.
...the plot has some crucially unclear exposition, and the stunt concepts are insanely implausible...but, somehow, that doesn’t stop the whole from being absurdly pleasurable
The original Transporter was a surprise hit in 2002, and this second installment will not disappoint.
The movie is streamlined and of a singular, rowdy and rousingly delivered purpose. Hurrah for spectacle.
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.
