They include the deadly Lola (Katie Nauta), who likes firing guns while dressed in lingerie, and her lover, Gianni (Alessandro Gassman), who amuses himself by beating up his henchmen in hand-to-hand combat. A group of good-for-nothing thugs are out to kidnap Jack. Jack is the son of a pharmaceuticals CEO (Matthew Modine), who is separated from his wife, Audrey (Amber Valletta). 'The Transporter,' is protecting a different kind of package - a little boy by the name of Jack Billings (Hunter Clary). Stratham never cracks a smile when he makes a dire pronouncement, we tend to believe him. Lead actor Jason Stratham is perfect for the part what Frank lacks in depth (he has no backstory), he more than makes up for in charisma.

The key to the film working is that the filmmakers understand this is all ridiculous, and, while they don't play the movie strictly for laughs (nor is it intended to be a parody), they recognize that there needs to be a little tongue in cheek. Transporter 2 delights in placing the main character in precarious situations, then having him use the most unlikely (not to mention unbelievable) methods to escape. Like logic, that sort of thing doesn't apply here. His adventures are lifted directly from the pages of comic book, with little consideration for prohibitions imparted by the laws of physics. This guy is so suave, he keeps an extra suit in his trunk in case he gets blood on his current one. If James Bond is too tame for you, Frank Martin (Jason Stratham) is your man. It's a sequel that outdoes the original in terms of flair and outrageousness, but it will appeal to much the same audience. For a closer look at the weekend numbers, have a peek at the Rotten Tomatoes Box Office page.I don't have a lot to say about Transporter 2. Next Friday sees a pair of latecoming hopefuls: Screen Gems’ courtroom-occult flick ' The Exorcism of Emily Rose' will debut on over 2,900 screens, while the Samuel Jackson / Eugene Levy buddy comedy ' The Man' will appear on about 1,800. The cop-in-school comedy made $3 million from over 1,100 screens, while the ill-fated Ray Bradbury adaptation yielded only $1.1 million from just over 800 theaters. A pair of late-season holdovers, Miramax’s ' Underclassman,' and WB’s ' A Sound of Thunder,' debuted in rather terrible form. Rounding out the top five were Wes Craven‘s ' Red Eye' ($9.3m holiday weekend, $45.4 million total) and Terry Gilliam‘s ' The Brothers Grimm,' which added nearly $8 million to its $27.6 million total haul. (An indicator that moviegoers are perhaps looking for some more grown-up material? One can only hope so.) Debuting in third place was Focus Features’ ' The Constant Gardener,' which tallied nearly $11 million from only 1,346 theaters. Stepping graciously into second place was the two-week champion known as ' The 40 Year-Old Virgin,' which added about $16.5 million to its total of $71.9 million. The film also broke the record for a Labor Day debut, knocking ' Jeepers Creepers 2' and its $18.3 million opening into second place. With a budget of approximately $32 million, 'Trans2' looks to turn a tidy profit well before Fox releases the double-dip Special Edition in eight months. This is a marked improvement over the debut of the original ' Transporter,' which opened to $9.1 million, eventually snagged a grand total of $25.2 million, and then became a bona-fide hit once the DVD was released.

Jason Statham in ' Transporter 2' was the go-to guy over the holiday weekend, hauling in an estimated $20.2 million from 3,300 screens.
