Transporter 2 : Movie Review


Transporter 2 (2005)Michael Bay, the reigning champ of crappy action films, once said, “I make movies for teenage boys. Oh, dear, what a crime.” So it is with The Transporter 2, an inoffensive, over-the-top action flick composed of wild car chases and staggering improbabilities that are sure to delight 13-year-old boys everywhere — and no one else.

The reason for this is simple. Unlike the rest of us, 13-year-old boys haven’t yet developed an immunity to mindless spectacle. They haven’t been around long enough to realize it’s their job as moviegoers to cluck and fuss every time a director tries to pull one over on the audience. Instead of feeling cheated when implausible scenarios pile up and ridiculous actions beget even more ridiculous reactions, 13-year-old boys hoot in approval. The explosions, the fights, the hot chicks, that’s enough for them. It’s a good thing, too, because that’s all The Transporter 2 has.
