Critical Reception

Transporter 2 received mixed reviews from critics, with many acknowledging its fast-paced action and Jason Statham's performance, but criticizing its thin plot and predictable storyline. Audiences, however, generally responded more positively to the film's high-octane fight sequences and stunts.

What Reviewers Say

  • Praised for its inventive and exciting action sequences and fight choreography.
  • Criticized for a nonsensical and derivative plot that offers little substance.
  • Jason Statham's charisma and physicality were highlighted as a significant strength.

Google audience: Audiences found the film to be a fun, action-packed ride with impressive stunts and fight scenes, largely carried by Jason Statham's presence. However, some felt the plot was weak and overly predictable, making it a watchable but not particularly memorable action flick.

Fun Fact

During the filming of the car chase sequence involving the Audi A8 W12, director Louis Leterrier had to remind the stunt drivers that they were professionals and not to imitate the on-screen actions in their personal lives.

Not quite as good with some outlandish action scenes but like Statham and Kate Nauta (Oregon gal as it turns out) is hot, though she is a model, and her "acting" shows it. Still thought it was fine all in all. **3.0/5 **
