Yeah, that actually happens.īut one of the most idiotic parts of the movie is a simple plot device. Oh and Lola shoots at a helicopter with her machine gun which causes it to explode. He then proceeds to knock it off via launching the car into midair whilst flipping it so the underside strikes a crane which tears off the bomb. This time he manages to spot a bomb on the underneath of his Audi via a puddle.
So there's no real tension anywhere to be found. It gets to a point where you think you're watching one of those soft porn 'girls n guns' type videos where sexy girls in bikinis simply fire guns (so I've heard, ahem!).Īs I've said the action is ramped up in this sequel, ramped up to 11! Naturally Martin is an invincible superman who cannot be beaten or injured (like all Statham flicks). And boy does the director get the cameraman to make the most of her ass, lips, legs, and feet in heels from every angle possible. Now this femme fatale is beautiful and there's nothing wrong with highlighting that don't get wrong but she literally spends the entire film's runtime in her underwear I kid you not. But then we have the real coup de grâce, the villainess Lola played by Kate Nauta. But is it just me or does this guy look identical to Benicio del Toro? I just couldn't help but feel that maybe, just maybe, they wanted del Toro and couldn't get him, so they hired a lookalike. The main bad guy Chellini is played by Italian actor Alessandro Gassman, and he does he solid job. Indeed the characters of the movie do get more ridiculous.

Look I'm no PC prude believe me, but I'm just pointing out the obvious in this movie (and it gets worse). Cos why would this gang need her? Do they really need her to carjack one man? (there were 4 of them). There was absolutely no reason whatsoever to have that hot chick in the schoolgirl outfit other than giving the male audience (and director presumably) a boner. The action will be more exuberant and heavy hitting, whilst inexplicably strewn with females in ridiculously skimpy outfits for no real reason. This one scene pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this new entry. Turns out Martin is just about to be carjacked by a gang of African American males.and their white female accomplice? So long story short, Martin obviously beats the shit outta these guys and calmly carries on with his latest mission.
Cometh the hour cometh the man, accept this time Martin is stopped in his tracks by a hot female dressed in a skimpy schoolgirl outfit (mmmmm). The only difference here is Martin is now sitting in a black Audi A8 (probably for money/sponsorship reasons). Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is seating peacefully in his car waiting for the precise time to start his latest mission. So this second entry starts off in exactly the same way as the first movie. So naturally just like the Marseille set car romp, this hitman thriller also wound up with a sequel which amped up what came before it ('Taxi' actually went on to have 4 sequels). Much like his 1998 action car flick 'Taxi' Luc Besson found success with this hitman/car action flick which was somewhat slick but also rather stupid (accept 'Taxi' had no hitman).
