"Transporter 2" is cheap, shiny, indefensible junk, a Hot Wheels hot rod encased in a glossy plastic blister pack. But come on -- you know you want it.

Better than the original.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 17, 2006

There is absolutely nothing subtle about "Transporter 2." But if you like your action movies to be ACTION movies, this one is fast-paced, unapologetic escapism.

| Original Score: B | Jan 7, 2006

Undemanding punters are guaranteed 90 minutes of dopey, derivative and gloriously disposable entertainment.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Much like a James Bond movie, only more playful and entertaining than that series has managed in many years, Transporter 2 isn't a continuation of the last one, it's another action enterprise unto itself.

Full Review | Sep 26, 2005

All action, all the time, with no pauses to catch your breath, or, more significantly, to figure out what's going on.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 24, 2005

Transporter 2, however, is the exact opposite. Instead of being fun it's just dumb, and no amount of nicely staged fight scenes or unusual camera moves can change that.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 10, 2005

Besson doesn't fiddle with the first movie's formula -- impossible car chases punctuated by impossible martial arts sequences.

Careens wildly off course before finally running out of gas.

Statham isn't the best thing in Transporter 2; he's essentially the only thing.

| Sep 2, 2005

Although not without its entertaining moments, the result is so over the top that we'll never again be able to look at Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning's identical setup in Man on Fire without chortling.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 2, 2005

Dismiss notions of plausibility or character development, as these criteria don't apply to the worth of a car-chase, martial-arts-driven extravaganza that follows the successful recipe established in The Transporter (2002).

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 2, 2005

Transporter 2 is franchise hackwork, easily dismissed but adequately enjoyable.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 2, 2005

If you can get past the impossibilities -- and we know it's a lot to ask -- Transporter 2 is a fun time at the movies.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 2, 2005

With cartoon villains and cartoon victims all the lane-changing, gear-shifting, and wrong-way-on-the-freeway driving seems like a meaningless waste of time.

Transporter 2 is faster than a speeding jet ski, more powerful than a hidden motive and cheesier than a Camembert factory.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 2, 2005

Even with so few requirements, Transporter 2 runs on empty.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 2, 2005

Like a cross between Man on Fire and Bad Boys 2, this demolition derby delivers eye-popping action sequences that would make even the Roadrunner roll his eyes in disbelief.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 2, 2005

An otherwise cruddy-looking assemblage of action-sequel clichés that benefits from Frank's dry-cleaned monosyllabic intensity but suffers from just about everything else.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 2, 2005
