The Transporter 2

The Transporter 2
The Transporter 2 -- a wholesome family movie -- uplifting, with truisms for our times.

  • Kids do your homework -- it's way better for your future than playing with guns and hanging out in gangs.

  • Never, ever, point a gun at a stranger. For one thing, they may have a bigger gun. The other, much worse, is that they may not have a gun, but you're still in for some good ass-whupping.

  • In life, there are rules -- for a reason. Break 'em at your peril -- especially if they're somebody else's rules.

  • If you make promises -- keep 'em -- especially to kids.

  • Never covet another man's wife -- no matter how much of a dick he is -- and especially if she's your boss. The whole work/sex thing just won't work.

  • Getting a good driver's education is a worthy investment. You never know when you'll have to outrun misguided cops & bad guys; fly off buildings; dislodge bombs attached to the undercarriage; and impress half-naked, twisted, psycho-chicks, who have bigger guns than you. And remember -- practice, practice, practice.

  • Get a good education and join the military -- preferably, special ops -- because there is no way you're going to afford expensive cars with custom upgrades working the ole newspaper route; and, if you're going to kick some serious butt, some of that military training would help.

  • Have morals -- it's what separates the good guys from the bad guys. The bad guys usually die at the end of movies.

  • Life's not a movie -- but it could be!

  • The movie has "check your brain at the door" style -- as a friend referred to it. Like the first, it as all action from beginning to end -- but this time around, it did seem to lack some of the magic the first had. This movie was set in America -- and did have many American characters -- and maybe that was it. In the previous outing, the exotic locale of some French small town, was a special touch. The action in this movie also seemed slightly muted -- but maybe that's just memories playing tricks with me. Altogether, the movie was great. Definitely worth watching again. It's action, for action junkies.
