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

Transporter 2 really does deliver the goods.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Delivers a satisfying late-summer escapist treat.
Slick kidnapping yarn starts off like a bat out of hell and never sags.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
If not precisely charismatic, Statham brings authentic athleticism and a certain cheeky presence to his lightly written role.
But certainly this is a movie for fans of Willis-style action with a little James Bond and probable instant obsolescence thrown in.
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).
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.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker
When the spectacle turns ridiculous, the movie just becomes another big-screen video game.
