Transporter 2 (2005)
6/10
High on Energy - Low on Martial Arts, Plot & Being Realistic
6 September 2005
Let me start by saying that I grade the original Transporter a 9 out of 10. This one probably deserves a 5 out of 10, but I'm grading it a 6 for the film's energy, upbeat music, and for Jason Statham performing admirably with a less than stellar script.

In general, there are some scenes that are just completely unrealistic, and I mean beyond the normal suspension of belief one normally checks at the door when seeing a movie.

There is much less martial arts in this sequel, and the fight scenes are no way near the quality and cool feel of the original movie.

And of course, just my opinion, but the first half of the movie seemed more crisp and the plot was okay, but the second part the plot just doesn't work as well, and it seems rushed and unsatisfying.

I'd have a hard time looking forward to a third installment of the Transporter unless perhaps Corey Yuen, the original director returns.
