Transporter 2

The man with the rules, Frank Martin, is back with his imitation of "Man on Fire". Frank's new job is being a chauffeur for a small child. After an incident occurs and they try to blame Frank, that's when the fun begins. Expect more of the same entertaining stunts as in the original movie.
Once again, Alien had to send a junior critic-in-training to cover this preview and here is their report:

The movie was great fun. It had more humor in it and a darling little boy. Most of his rules were for the little boy he was in charge of, like: Never make a promise you "can't" keep. He had several rules for the little boy for riding in his car like: Respect another man's car. Wear your seatbelt. etc....

The movie had some good action/fight scenes. A couple were WAY beyond realistic (more fantasy) than anything. They were fun though, just the concept. HAD SOME GREAT CARS!!! There were a couple things left hanging and not explained which was a little disappointing.

The villains were very "hateable", especially since they were victimizing a little boy in order to bring down the drug control officials.

The (French) cop from the first movie was in this one. It took place in Miami and he came for a visit, which turned out not to be much of a visit since he spent all of it at the police station.

It was very entertaining, funny and nice when the villian loses and the hero wins.
There could very well be a Sequel 3 the way it ended. I enjoyed this movie and would pay to see it but I think I still liked the first one a little better. Maybe there was a bit more realism in the first one and I REALLY loved the oil/fight scene in that one.

J-C-I-T gives it 3 stars out of 4.

Here is Alien’s review of “Transporter 2” after catching only the last 25 minutes.

Prepare to suspend all thoughts of realism and just sit back to view the highly stylized fighting and stunt scenes surrounding a plot involve kidnapping and the release of a biological pathogen in Miami.

Alien didn’t see enough to give out any stars, but Alien liked the original better.
