Yup, watched the second one. More car chases, more elegant Gallic violence, more really unlikely stunts. The supporting cast here was good again. (I was surprised to see Matthew Modine in what amounts to almost a bit part.)
Basically, if you liked the first one you’ll like the second and vice versa. The main draws here are the over-the-top car chase sequences and the fight scenes, which look like a cross between the usual Hollywood fisticuffs and something Jackie Chan would put together. The fire hose sequence was especially good this time around. This installment is fractionally less good than the original because of some really terrible over-acting on the part of some of the bad guys, but what the hell – if you want to see acting go rent Glengarry, Glen Ross. If you’re thinking of buying either Transporter 1 or 2, save yourself some time and just order the collection.
