Transporter 2 is, like the original, loaded with action fun.

The film is too empty-headed to convey any real sense of peril, yet isn't absurd enough to be appreciated as black comedy. It leaves you feeling distracted, not transported.

Transporter 2 is faster than a speeding jet ski, more powerful than a hidden motive and cheesier than a Camembert factory.

Even with so few requirements, Transporter 2 runs on empty.

Like a cross between Man on Fire and Bad Boys 2, this demolition derby delivers eye-popping action sequences that would make even the Roadrunner roll his eyes in disbelief.

The Transporter 2 may be mindless entertainment, but it definitely gets the heart pumping.

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.

From bang-up beginning to blow-up ending, this trip is clearly just good escapist fun.

The Transporter 2 is good trash, the sort of loud bang-bang flick that's so over-the-top you buy it with a laugh.

In terms of raw, heart-thumping action, The Transporter 2 out-Bonds Bond.

Plot: Who cares? I was watching Jason Statham do a Jackie Chan number on seven killers with a filled fire hose!

Because in the movie industry you can always have way too much of a good thing, here comes Transporter 2, a sequel that makes it clear that the outrageous antics of the first movie had a one-time-only charm.

Transporter 2 is high-octane fluff, a feature-length car commercial on steroids that never tries, or pretends to be, anything more. At that level it works.

Statham has truly stepped up to fill the shoes once worn by Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal and, yes, even the legendary Bruce Lee.

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.

If you want wild, freewheeling stunts that violate the laws of physics... then this little beauty is ready to drive off the lot.
