What I liked in the film?
Movie starts in a great style and carries on the momentum for quite a while. However, the momentum goes down as the climax approaches. The stunts in this film are good. The hero is cool and carries off his role perfectly.

What I did not like in the film?
The plot of the film is not properly developed. The Audi car driven by Frank seems to be directly out of a James bond film. It can fly and do many stunts. The cg work for the flight movement and trajectory is not upto the mark in the climax.

The scenes I liked?

1. Frank makes his car fly 360 degrees to dispose the bomb attached to its bottom (11th chapter at 35 min).

2. Frank falls from bridge on to the water scooter. Then he makes the girl sitting in front on his scooter to do the somersault. (13th Chapter and 46 min)

3. Frank jumps and lands on the bonnets of two colliding cars (15th Chapter and 55 min)

4. Frank ties goons with empty fire hose and then opens water into it and it results in a comic display (19th chapter and 1.09 min)

Tailpiece: Sequels tend to disappoint. Transporter 2 is no exception. It makes an average flick. You can watch it for the entertaining stunts and sequences. This film has some resemblance to ‘Man on Fire’. Telugu stunt directors can watch this film and adapt many action sequences for Telugu projects.
