THE TRANSPORTER 2 (2005) - Sept. 3, 2005
A somewhat disappointing sequel. It's especially disappointing given how good Unleashed was, Louis Leterrier's previous film. There were a couple of good action sequences, but the action was pretty mediocre for the most part. It didn't help that the whole film felt like a TBS version of an R-rated movie (it's really clear that this was originally supposed to be much more violent). It also didn't help that the movie was filled with action movie cliches (the generic European villain, the big quiet guy who does a lot of damage to the main character until he gets the upper hand, the fight on a plane in which the pilot is shot in the crossfire, and so on). It wasn't all bad, though. Jason Statham was quite good, and the film was essentially entertaining throughout. It was just mediocre. **1/2
