-Stunning Cars, beautiful fight scenes, and a hot woman. Recycle of the first film.
*WARNING CONTAINS SPOILERS *
Summary- Frank Martin is temporary helping a friend by chaffeuring the child of an extremely wealthy family. When the child is taken hostage, Frank feels responsible and takes it upon himself to save the boy. Eventually he discovers a much more sinister motive behind the kidnapping, which he alone must stop.
Review- I was excited for this movie, because I enjoyed the first one. However, I was sadly disappointed. Don’t get me wrong there is a ton of action, even more than the first movie. But most of it is ridiculous. For instance, when Frank has to get a bomb off the bottom of his car, he drives it off a ramp and flips it so a crane’s hook knocks it off. Also, when he attempts to outrun the cops, he drives off one building and lands onto the floor of another building. More importantly, the movie added action scenes at the expense of a good story. I mean the story is underdeveloped and seems like an excuse for Frank to get into more chase/fight scenes. However, there are some really good action scenes, some sexy cars, and a hot psychotic girl in lingerie shooting everything she sees- so if you’re in the mood for a brainless action flick, this will fit the bill.
