Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

Delivers a satisfying late-summer escapist treat.

L.A. Weekly by Scott Foundas

This ridiculously entertaining sequel is that rare part deux that leaves you hankering for part trois. The action is, in a word, spectacular, but also playful, inventive and witty.

Transporter 2 really does deliver the goods.

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert

In fact the sequel is a better film than the original, as if writer-producer Luc Besson had a clearer idea of what he wanted to do (and didn't want to do).

Slick kidnapping yarn starts off like a bat out of hell and never sags.

Film Threat by Michael Ferraro

Transporter 2 was directed by Louis Leterrier and he exemplifies a perfect style for this type of film by showing us the action without editing it to bits.

That a movie can run on empty and still be so obscenely enjoyable is a pretty slick stunt in itself.

Dallas Observer by Luke Y. Thompson

The computer-enhanced vehicle chases look fake, but the hand-to-hand combat scenes are the best of the year.

The A.V. Club by Scott Tobias

Chucks the laws of logic and physics out the passenger's-side window, and it's all the better for it.

USA Today by Mike Clark

But certainly this is a movie for fans of Willis-style action with a little James Bond and probable instant obsolescence thrown in.

The New York Times

Purely shallow but never dull, the film wisely pushes the limits of absurdity to the extreme, making it easier to submit to its sheer camp.

Entertainment Weekly

The greatest thing about the movie is Statham, a charismatic silent, deadly type who deserves to take the wheel behind a better franchise.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker

When the spectacle turns ridiculous, the movie just becomes another big-screen video game.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

If not precisely charismatic, Statham brings authentic athleticism and a certain cheeky presence to his lightly written role.
