“The Transporter 2” Movie

Last Tuesday I saw the movie “The Transporter 2”, which starred: Jason Statham, Alessandro Gassman, Amber Valletta, Kate Nauta and Matthew Modine.

The story line involved the following: “Frank Martin (Statham) latest transporting gig is to race around Miami Beach in his tricked-out Audi, chauffeuring the child of a well-to-do family. What? No-nonsense Frank as a kindly chauffer? Not exactly. He likes the kid, likes him a great deal, but the second he rolls down his bulletproof window, we know he's still no saint. But when the boy is kidnapped on his watch, Frank goes into vigilante-mode. His mission, should he choose to accept: Return the boy to his parents (Amber Valletta, Matthew Modine) without a scratch. But there's a catch. Seems the kidnapping is just a ploy to spread a deadly 24-hour virus from the boy to his politician father, and thus to everyone he then comes in contact with. Now, Martin's charged with the tall task of obtaining the antidote for the virus. By the end, he'll have fought the criminals by land, sea and air to ensure his clients' safety, and in the process dirties his suit, which he hates doing because it just came out of the cleaners.”

I give the movie a “B”, and the movie is worth the price of an admission ticket, a large popcorn and a small soft drink. The film was a good action movie.
