Jason Statham reprises his role as Frank Martin, "The Transporter".
Basic movie plot is this: Frank is living in Miami, filling in as a chauffeur for an important American official. Kid gets kidnapped, and it's up to Frank to get him back. Car chases, gunfights, explosions, and all sorts of crazy stunts are the norm. While the first Transporter saw him mostly utilizing BMWs, in this one, Audi/Lamborghini seems to have taken the blue propeller's place as we see Statham driving an A8 W12 and Murcielago. (All the crazy stunt car driving is in the less expensive A8, while we only see excessive speeding in the Murcielago). Much like video games, despite all the damage these luxury cars should sustain, the body and the paint is perfect. There also appear to be much product placement for Nokia. For what the movie is, a basic car-chase, gun-shooting action movie, it's not bad, just don't go into thinking you're watching it for a great story. We also see the return of François Berléand reprising his role as Tarconi.
