Transporter 2 knows what its audience wants and--like its title character--it delivers. This is a movie that has not only a fight choreographer but also a car stunt choreographer; a movie in which a female assassin wears nothing but a bra and panties because, presumably, additional clothing would be too cumbersome; a movie in which crashing through a concrete wall in order to leap over a four-lane street will not even rumple the hood of the hero's car; a movie in which a drunken supermodel, after her advances are chastely and gently rebuffed by the hero, says "Thanks for the respect--that's what I needed most"; a movie, in short, for those who liked the first Transporter but found it too subdued and character-driven. Jason Statham (The Italian Job) reprises his role as Frank Martin, a perhaps overly diligent chauffer who will break bones if his duty is impeded. The sheer glee with which Transporter 2 casts aside logic, probability, and the laws of physics is infectious. If the sequence in which Frank flips his car upside-down in order to detach the bomb attached to his undercarriage doesn't reduce you to intoxicated giggles, well...you're watching the wrong movie. Transporter 2 is utterly shameless, unstoppably ridiculous, and completely enjoyable. Also featuring Amber Valetta (Hitch), Jason Flemyng (Snatch), and Matthew Modine. --Bret Fetzer

And The Action Continues
There was a little something missing from this one, but not enough to matter. It was that European flavor the original had. This one had more of something the first one did not-a good meaningful story. The choreographed fight scenes were perfect. There was even a throwback of the humorous oil fight scene from the first Transporter. Stratham never disappoints. While there was limited killings, after watching both this sequal and the original, I feel as though someone behind the scenes is determined to minimize the death count, substituting instead for numerous beaten and bruised bad guys. More interesting plot than the original. Again , this movie, like the first, is only for the action/karate fan. On that score it succeeds. This is why I gave it a -4-. I was a little disappointed with the climactic fight scene at th end. The antagonist was such a master, I expected more of a fight at the end. Placing this battle on an airplane going down was fresh, but limited the space for this big fight. Frank did not suffer enough of a beating, at the hands of the evil guy , to make us cheer for him to come back and kick his _____. Esaping from the sinking plane made up for it a little. I have owned both this and the original for a while now, but am getting around to looking at it months later. I will not make that mistake with another Stratham action flick. I will not make that mistake with Transporter 3 . Now when are they going to make Transporter 4?

Very clever
I've seen the first film a couple of times and thought that whilst it was OK and Jason Statham can just about act it was nothing special. I really wanted to hate this, but came away liking it quite a lot. The filmmakers knew what they wanted here. Its brainless entertainment with tongue firmly in cheek, and they know it....

In fact I enjoyed it more than the first film. The villianess in bra and panties, endless ridiculous car chases, fight sequences that have to be seen to be believed. Its all done with style, panache and a "don't care if this is not real" attitude that other films , that take themselves too seriously (i.e. Mission Impossible 3) could learn from.

So if you let it wash over you, you will have a entertaining hour and 3/4. Don't think about it just enjoy!

Great as always, but no DTS?
Well, I have no much to say. I've always liked the Transporter series. I am working my collection of the 3. However, Amazon says it has a DTS audio track - where is it? The DVD has not a single DTS track authored onto it. It doesn't make it unplayable, but thats certainly one of the reasons for buying the movie...
