I would say that The Transporter 2 was just as good as the first movie. You really don’t even have to have seen the first one to enjoy its follow-up (though I recommend renting or buying it anyway.) The only connection to the first movie is Tarconi, but if you didn’t see the first one, you won’t get too lost. I still say that it’s okay to “check your brain at the door” and have fun with this movie. What’s better than some burgers and brauts on the grill, followed by a cheesy thrill ride?
