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.

Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

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.
