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

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.

Transporter 2 moves fast but goes nowhere -- it might be the first film to use a jet ski to jump the shark.

A James Bond-type of escapist fantasy film for those who can't get enough trashy action when 007 is not on the screen.
