    Cool...Jason Statham kicks ass! Transporter2 pretty much sucked, IMO, because they had him protecting a kid and the ridiculous (in a bad way)car stunts.

    That blonde nurse/killer almost made up for it though. Damn, she was hot!

    I enjoy anything with Jason Statham in and i'm really looking for the 3rd installment. I'm looking forward to seeing Robert Knepper aka T-Bag from Prison Break in it.
