As Dr. Evil once said, "Why must I be surrounded by frickin' idiots?" That is exactly what Frank Martin (Jason Statham) must feel like in Transporter 2. Transporter 2 is the sequel to the 2002 movie about Frank Martin a former Special Ops Agent who is a transporter of sorts who ends up getting involved with people who are in the business of transporting Asian slaves. This time around the child of his temporary employers who was under his care has been kidnapped by a group of people with a need to poison and kill a bunch of leaders evolved in drug enforcement. Just like the first movie, this movie boasts a number of action scenes that range from the insane to the absurd, all of which are completely fun to watch and make the movie completely watchable despite the numerous flaws. Like I said, Frank Martin seems to be surrounded by a host of stupid and incompetent supporting characters minus Audrey Billings (Amber Valletta) and Inspector Tarconi (François Berléand). It is obvious that Frank and Audrey are constantly frustrated by idiocy of the other characters in the movie. Why? How does a poor script and terrible acting suit you as a good reason? The plot is simplistic, the majority of the acting is terrible, and the writing is full of fail. Even Jason Statham is suck with some pretty weak one liners. Overall, the action scenes alone make this movie worth the time. Some people will find most of the scenes overly ridiculous and will most likely be turned off by them. But ff you are willing to turn off your brain for 90 minutes, you will find this movie enjoyable. If you are looking for a masterpiece, you'll probably be disappointed and should look elsewhere.

Tired bang-em-up, shoot-em-up, bull-crap I've seen this movie like so many times since childhood. Completely unbelivable scenes. Someone wrote this movie on coke.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen. The so-called story is totally absurd and far-fetched, the characters are as uninteresting as possible and the stunts may be cool if you like unrealistic action, but they are so ridicoulus that I laughed when seeing several of them. If you are about to buy the DVD, you better put the money in your next meal and eat it, because the movie is as senseless as doing that. At least. But eating money more fun.
Josh T. gave it a5:
no where near as good as the first one but still has an entertaining value to it. it has some great scenes but also has some down-right fake and quality-ruining scenes. Great acting and a decent plot make this film bearable.
Matt B. gave it a1:
What the world really needed was another movie about an unarmed guy who kicks and slugs his way through teams of armed FBI agents and drug Czars. This movie was difficult to endure. Don't waste your time.
