Review of Transporter 2 (2005) by Nicky N — 02 May 2014
More outrageous adrenalized action sitting shotgun alongside professional driver Frank (Jason Statham). Without a doubt, features the most ludicrous method imaginable to remove a carbomb from the undercarriage! But it's all absurd anyway, the fun lies in the stylized way Louis Letterier choreographs the many fights and stunts, owing much to the environmental fighting techniques of Jackie Chan.
Lanky rail-thin model Kate Nauta leaves an impression as evil henchman Lola who, in case you were unsure of the target market, performs all her scenes in skimpy lingerie. And there are some choice bad-movie moments like Amber Valletta's berserk outrage at the inefficiency of a bomb squad to cringe at for good measure.
If you liked the first, you'll like this one too, maybe even slightly more. French actor François Berléand has a better time here, even if inexplicably shoehorned into the story to give Frank some intel.
All part of the nonsensical Transporter M.O.!
