A great action packed film I love action/adventure and martial arts films and everybody loves a great car chase now and again and this film has everything.
The film starts with a fast paced car chase through winding streets which if it doesn't make you want to watch the film even more then you must be crazy. But the film really takes off when he is called to do a job and he breaks his own rule he opens the package. Finds a girl and after a few close shaves manages to get her to the destination without losing her. But after leaving her he gets to a stop of and his car blows up when walking back to it. He wants revenge he goes back and kicks a few asses very entertaining then takes a new car for himslef which turns out to have the woman in again who had managed to escape. He leaves her on the road but can't face it so takes her back to his house not bothering where she went but the next morning he wakes up to a home made breakfast.
Alot happens but to cut a long story short house gets blown up and they escape sleep together gt kidnapped and locked up then find out that her dad illegqally smuggling chinese people in and he. He needs to rescue her and show that he was telling the truth otherwise he was in alot of trouble for holding up a police officer earlier in the day. The film ends with a fast paced truck fight scene which is a pinnacle of the film.
There was also an amazing fight scene in a bus depo where oil is a crucial part to his success and slipped away again.
Overall the film is very exciting and a must see if you love you action films. Transporter 2's good to.
