Reviews for Transporter 2
...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
09/08/05
Besson doesn't fiddle with the first movie's formula -- impossible car chases punctuated by impossible martial arts sequences.
09/06/05
While Jackie Chan Turned To Comedy And Jet Li Relied On Tired Rappers, Statham Stole The Mantle Of Top Kicking Star.
09/06/05
Careens wildly off course before finally running out of gas.
09/06/05
Statham still oozes virile charm but his unbelievable feats make him a super hero fantasy character which is not what audiences expect or want
09/05/05
In this second lap the brainless busyness and gaudy excess amount to utter overkill...nothing more than pointless speed and empty action.
09/04/05
As lively and as fun as it is unapologetically dumb.
09/04/05
Neither of "The Transporter" films, well, move me.
09/03/05
Truth be told, they could have paraded an Unicorn in a clown suit across the screen and it wouldn’t have been less unbelievable..
09/03/05
Leterrier doesn't seem to care how crappy Luc Besson's script is, he just wants to make the thing look good. He does.
09/03/05
Statham isn't the best thing in Transporter 2; he's essentially the only thing.
09/02/05
Although not without its entertaining moments, the result is so over the top that we'll never again be able to look at Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning's identical setup in Man on Fire without chortling.
09/02/05
The sequel is a live-action Road Runner cartoon, which is a criticism to the degree that you think story, characterization and some fidelity to the laws of gravity are important.
09/02/05
Dismiss notions of plausibility or character development, as these criteria don't apply to the worth of a car-chase, martial-arts-driven extravaganza that follows the successful recipe established in The Transporter (2002).
09/02/05
Transporter 2 is franchise hackwork, easily dismissed but adequately enjoyable.
09/02/05
If you can get past the impossibilities -- and we know it's a lot to ask -- Transporter 2 is a fun time at the movies.
09/02/05
A James Bond-type of escapist fantasy film for those who can't get enough trashy action when 007 is not on the screen.
09/02/05
While downright silly and often unintelligible The Transporter 2 moves so fast that you have just enough time to suspend disbelief and strap yourself in for the ride.
09/02/05
With cartoon villains and cartoon victims all the lane-changing, gear-shifting, and wrong-way-on-the-freeway driving seems like a meaningless waste of time.
