can't enjoy ACTION movies for what they are, then don't bother going. I'm a fan of all movies yes, even romance , and I must tell you, this movie is an ACTION fans dream!

make fine French cuisine ?? , or the fact that there's this Jamaican guy that shows up out of nowhere at the end of the movie for comedic value ??? , or the fact that you can spin a car in mid-air, have the bottom of the car hit a wrecking ball, which knocks off a remote-triggered bomb that blows up after dislodging, and land the car safely ???? , or the fact that there are hardly any police to be found in the city...and so on. But, you'll probably enjoy this movie if you're a fan of the genre, and hey, it's always great to see Matthew Modine getting work.Bottom Line: If you like fun, dumb action movies, you'll probably love this. I'd go see it as a matinée if I were you. The movie is less than 1 and a half hours long.

that. Their directing technique's will make it a master piece. WE all Know Jason and jet are the action stars of today but what happened to Van Dame, Steven Segal their European budget films are not as good as their American made productions. come on van and Steve kicks, hey maybe a good movie would be Jason and jet take on Steven and van Dame, imagine the limitations.

can save the boy and stop the real plot which involves mass murder.The key thing to understand about this film is that it is completely fantastic and unreal. The stunts, the plot, the whole thing, is completely impossible. If you can accept that fact and just go with it the you'll have a great time. If you want reality in your movies stay home, this movie is completely unreal.The action is spectacular, and the film makers have out done themselves. Its amazing. Everything about the fights and chases is absolutely first rate.The characters are great. Frank is the same great character from the first film. We get to see him actually grow as a person. We feel for him as we see him act as the frantic surrogate father, and our heart breaks as we see somethings go wrong. Taconi, the police inspector is back, and is a joy to behold. I wish that he was better used, but just having him on screen is enough for me.The villains are monstrous people who will do anything to anyone for money or pleasure. They are truly suitable foils for our hero. They are so good, that you never know from the get go how bad things are going to get, or if Frank will actually get out of this alive. Its so nice to have bad guys you can really hate.The plot is much tighter than in the first film, which completely broke down about half way in. Sure, the first movie was fun to the end, but you had to ignore the fact that it really didn't work. Here the movie is a very tight very taut thriller that seems almost alien when compared to the first one, which seemed less serious.The fact that this is a tighter and better plotted thriller makes the fact that there is a major plot jump less easy to accept. There is a moment when Frank finds out whats really going on and he doesn't really tell anyone. He doesn't clue in the police which he should considering whats really transpiring he just continues the one man crusade to get the bad guys for those keeping score its about the time he leaves the bio-lab .Yes, I understand that the movie up to this point has more plot holes than you could drive a fleet of trucks through, but there is a whacked internal logic that allows for some of the holes, but not this. It wobbles the film slightly in that other things become more glaring, like the sense the film is missing part of the soul that made the first film such a great balls to the wall thrill ride.Don't get me wrong I love this movie and as a guilty pleasure its probably going to be on my list of best films of the year, but I should have liked it more... which is an odd thing to say about a film I'm rating 9 out of 10.Great action. Great Characters. A plot with more holes in it than all the swiss cheese ever made. If you love action see this movie.

like that in the first one. And unlike the first one, Transporter 2 has a touch of humor it, so it would be like the first. I liked all the characters, including the deadly Lola, the half-dressed killer who didn't realize she would be "backstabbed" by her own partner. The fight scene between Lola and Frank was something. She still gives me the creeps. What a pity for her. To me, I called that one, fighting to the death. Frank made it well in this movie not getting caught, and handling the encounters with the law. Real smooth. I've enjoyed every bit of this movie, and it puts the first one to shame. The action factor of the movie was bigger and I liked the part where he handles all the henchmen with poles and hoses. He shoots and scores! HAHA! This was no gimmick, Transporter 2 is a must! Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars.

choreographer Cory Yuen orchestrated the killer fight sequences for Statham. Statham, who was a former Olympic diver, is a world-class athlete, and looks to be an accomplished martial artist. He looks to performs almost, if not all of his stunts. Statham arises as heir-apparent to Jet Li and Jackie Chan. He may not possess their trained skills, but he has this Bruce Lee-like charisma. "Transporter 2" is truly his movie.Statham returns as Frank Martin, former Special Forces commander and experienced anti-terrorist expert, who as a favor to a friend is on chauffeur duty for little Jack Hunter Clary , son of National Drug Enforcement Director Jeff Billings a well played jerk by Matthew Modine , and his suffering estranged wife Audrey smart and beautiful Amber Valletta . Audrey has a strong attraction for the noble Martin; however, Martin is man of honor and follows a code. Powerful drug lord, Gianni evil and dashing Alessandro Gassman possesses a mysterious virus and anti-virus as part of some grand scheme. While accompanying Jack on a regular appointment, Martin faces Gianni's lethal lover and assassin Lola totally scorching Kate Nauta . Awesome action. Lola is wet lingerie clad, with automatic weapons blazing. Pure genius. Somehow Frank is suspected of collusion in Jack's abduction, but all is not what is seems. Frank promised Jack that he would never be hurt. Frank is a man who keeps his promises. Always.Besson and Kamen's screenplay is preposterous-- that also being it's true charm and appeal. Director Leterrier infuses such style and energy into the project. He's got young beautiful people, amazing car stunts, and world-class martial arts choreography from Cory Yuen. He knows how to put together an entertaining flick. So when Martin attempts to dislodge a bomb planted underneath his slick Audi A6, the effect is breathtaking instead of ridiculous-- well at least for the most part. Gasssan as Giannii proves a heartless, deadly, and formidable nemesis to Martin Statham . Kate Nauta is totally hot as Lola. She is as threatening as she is sexy. She definitely as a presence. Statham as Martin is so commanding as the strong loner. Aside from a genuine magnetism and physical presence, he displays an understated compassion. He also delivers a dry sense of humor. Amazingly it's his vulnerability that salvages the movie's over-the-top implausibility. And "Transporter 2" is really about honor. Stathem is it's barer.Leterrier's "The Transporter 2" is so very engaging and entertaining. It's a lot of fun. Remember what you are watching, and you'll be fine. Jason Statham is a star. He may be the next big thing in action movies. "Transporter 2" is a great action movie.

your life.Personally, I adapt and enjoy.

Nauta , young Jack is kidnapped. Of course, Frank is the prime suspect by the police and is pursued from that point forward by the police.After following the kidnappers orders and paying $5 million, Jack's parents retrieve him safe and sound and everything seems great. Without giving anything away, this is where the real problem begins.Katie Nauta delivers a stand out performance in what I believe is her film debut. She has an awesome screen presence and would have liked to see her have a bigger part. She is exactly what Hollywood needs, in my opinion. Someone sexy, new and a little different. She reminds me of both Rebecca Romijn and Fairuza Balk.Jason Statham is great, as usual. Easily the best part of this movie. Jason is England's answer to Jackie Chan. The fight scenes are a little more over the top than the original movie and the same goes for the car chase scenes. While the chase scenes were wild in the first one, it does not come close to the absurdity in the sequel. As seen in the preview, the car jumping scene is not very realistic. It looks like it belongs in XXX: State Of The Union. Don't get me wrong, I liked that movie and I like this one. A lot. I just wish it could have been more like the original. I would still recommend this movie and rate it 8/10.

choreography, which is very imaginative and clever though he reuses a few ideas, e.g. the hosepipe from KISS OF THE DRAGON . Unfortunately the film is blighted by "Hollywood-Style" camera work and editing, which detracts from the choreography... westerners still haven't learnt how to shoot a fight scene as well as a Hong Kong crew despite having 10x the budget available to do it ... too many closeups, shaky camera that goes against the movement of the action and editing which obscures rather than emphasises what's going on. I'd love to see the action scenes re-edited by one of HK's premier action film editors.Still, small quibbles really since Hong Kong has pretty much stopped making action films this fun anyway, and TRANSPORTER 2 is still plentifully entertaining as it is :
