OK, I have a questionnaire for you.

1. Do you like cars?
2. Do you like ridiculously hot women?
3. Do you like martial arts movies (the choreographed slap-fight kind)?
4. Are you willing to turn off your logic chip for 2 hours?

If you answered yes to all of these, I recommend that you go rent Transporter 2.

I'll just say up front that the entire movie, from the overall plot to every individual scene, is entirely implausible. But you know how there's some movies where you laugh and point at the impossible stuff and it ruins the movie? This isn't one of those movies.

This movie is so out of control, with each scene crazier than the last, that somewhere in your subconscious you realize everything is preposterous, but the testosterone-fueled part of your brain (the most important part) is going "wow, that was fucking cool!" If you can say the words "waverunner/school bus chase" and not laugh, you won't have a problem with the believability (or lack thereof) of this flick.

One thing I do believe is that Kate Nauta is seriously the hottest thing I've seen in a while. Her legs are... sorry i drooled all over my keyboard and lost my train of thought there. Let's just say that even wielding dual automatic glocks, she's welcome over anytime. Seriously, she alone is worth the price of admission.

Jason Statham is The Transporter again, and I'm fairly certain that if he ever fought James Bond, he would kick his pansy ass. Not to mention that Statham would drive circles around Bond. Fantastic (in both senses of the word) car chases here, folks.

My third favorite character is the piece of automotive heaven that Statham drives in the closing scenes... if you have a good audio system crank it up so you can hear that engine scream. I did, because I know I'll never have the money to ever afford to hear something like that scream in person. Which brings me back to thoughts of Kate again...
