Even if Transporter 2 isn't as good as the original, it's still an overly saturated, high octane adventure that keeps the tone and the slapstick filled action of the first. With the constant gravity defying set pieces and cartoonish CG it feels like destiny that director Louis Leterrier would be given the keys to Fast & Furious.
Jason Statham is almost always playing this character even when he's not literally returning as Frank Martin so it's a real testament to his specific set of skills that he can do it without becoming as stale as some of his counterparts. Even though the supporting cast has bigger names, François Berléand is still the best non Statham part.
Louis Leterrier does a good Michael Bay impression with his rendition of an excessively vibrant Miami. The action can be a little too fast, so on a 1:1 comparison with its predecessor it isn't as strong, however, what's here still rules. It's very tongue in cheek as Statham uses watermelons as a weapon but the real highlight is when he goes wild with a fire hose.
