Where to watch Transporter 2
3 1/2 Stars
Take for instance a sequence in which the bad guy has placed a bomb on the undercarriage of the hero’s car. Instead of bailing out of the vehicle Statham jumps a ramp propelling his automobile into a midair barrel roll and uses a suspended crane to dislodge the explosive device. Impossible? Absolutely but it’s also extremely inventive. The whole film is stuffed with impressive stunt work and choreography (and some underwhelming CGI). Returning director Louis Leterrier is afforded a higher budget and tighter script than was the case on the first film. He has managed to deliver a thrilling time-killer with little ambition other than to entertain. Which it does in glorious fashion. The best of the series and a fine showcase for Statham’s physicality and cool bravado.
