Well Deserved Praise
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
This style of fast-paced, all-action film, really appeals to both of us, when we want a stress free night in front of the television and we don't want to think too hard about the complexities of a complicated or thought provoking story line.Along with other actors in this genre, Jason Statham has become another firm favourite to deliver the goods in a flamboyant, slightly tongue-in-cheek, no nonsense way, which is highly entertaining and watchable.Not quite as intense, the story line reminded us both very much of the Denzel Washington film 'Man On Fire', although of course, poor 'Creasy' didn't live to fight another day!
The Transporter was an entertaining action film. I decided to watch the second and the third after seeing the first one. Both were better than the first one and surprisingly I enjoyed the third the most. But here I am writing what I like and dislike about Transporter 2. Let's start with the pros.1)Transporter 2 was better than The Transporter.2)Jason Statham does his role as Frank Martin excellently.3)Statham does show great non-CGI martial arts action.4)The car chases were great.5)Some funny moments.6)Solid plot.7)Likable characters.8)Cool bits of the soundtrack.I disliked a few things about the movie.1)The bad guys were more interesting than in the first film, though they are still weak. Lola started as an interesting villain, but her defeat was disappointing.2)(Minor con) The film used kind of poorly the music from a favourite song of mine by The Servant - Cells.Overall Transporter 2 is more fun and overall better then is predecessor. It is a fun film and deserves a watch.
Frank Martin (Jason Statham) returns as the Transporter. He's driving in Florida as a chauffeur for the Billings. They are having marital problems and Frank rejects Audrey Billings (Amber Valletta)'s advances. Frank drives the boy Jack to the doctor's office and stumbles onto an elaborate scheme to infect the anti-drug forces. Gianni Chellini sent the psychotic Lola to kill the doctor. Frank manages to escape but Gianni placed a bomb under his car. Frank is forced to drive off and the boy is kidnapped. Everybody assumes Frank has kidnapped Jack except Audrey and Inspector Tarconi.Who doesn't love a lingerie clad killer? This is completely over the top and an unabashed popcorn action movie. More than ever, Frank is superhuman. The action is fun but it gets a bit mind-numbing after the first half. It's one of those movies where the bad guys' guns vanishes and get a bunch of random hand-held weapons so that they have a fun acrobatic fight. It couldn't really top the lingerie killer model in the doctor's office anyways. It's also hamstrung by a slightly off virus story.
Professional driver Frank Martin is living in Miami, where he is temporarily filling in for a friend as the chauffeur for a government narcotics control policy maker, and his family. The young boy in the family is targeted for kidnapping, and Frank immediately becomes involved in protecting the child and exposing the kidnappers.....The first one was a surprise hit, and it was easy, high concept stuff, so it would be silly to not make a sequel, and Jason Statham's star was on the rise too.And it's more of the same stuff, Frank losing his shirt several times, comedy bad guys, a villainess who wears almost next to nothing for no apparent reason, and of course,there is always the comedy sidekick who helps Frank on his way, and gets him out of scrapes.But, it's not as good as the first movie, and its blatantly stolen from Man On Fire, but with this time, the added bonus of an airborne virus.The fights are as thrilling as the first, and the last act is hilariously over the top, but you cannot shake that feeling of Man On Fire.And wondering what happened to Matthew Modine.
