Transporter 2
Rent & Buy
Professional driver, and former Special Forces officer, Frank Martin is living in Miami, where he is temporarily filling in for a friend as the chauffeur for a government narcotics control policy director 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.
What critics thought
Critics were split on this Statham vehicle, landing it in mixed-review territory overall. Ebert found it a genuine improvement on the original, enjoying its gleeful absurdity, while others felt the film rested entirely on Statham's shoulders with little else to support him. The action spectacle has its fans, but the consensus is closer to guilty pleasure than genuine achievement.
“Statham isn't the best thing in Transporter 2; he's essentially the only thing.”
