I can't tell you I wasn't surprised to see a DVD review copy of Transporter 2 on my doorstep since Fox's latest announcement stating that it was going to be now limiting its DVD review copies sent out to journalists thanks to all the bootleggers out there. I will say though that if you are one of the pirateers don't expect to be seeing any journalists making copies for you. These are all individually watermarked and can be traced right back to the origin. Sorry, looks like you are finally going to have to actually shell out some money as opposed to stealing.

Now, for the review.

Transporter 2 is quite possibly the most insanely impossible, improbably and inconceivable movie ever made, which is exactly what makes it so much fun. There is no chance in hell that a single stunt pulled in this film could be done. From dodging bullets, fighting inside a plummeting jet and taking out several guys with a fire hose. None of it. I repeat. None of it is possible. Fortunately, none of that matters, it is the mere fact that this movie accepts the impossible as possible and has a sense of humor about it that makes it the film it is.

Jason Statham isn't exactly the biggest name in Hollywood, but I don't think I can call him unrecognizable. While casual moviegoers will need to be reminded of who he is and might not know exactly who you are talking about when you say his name he is not a character you forget easily. I have heard people say that he is typecast in these types of action roles and I think that is far from the truth. Just seeing him in Collateral at the very beginning gets the mind racing as to what exactly his character had going on after the drop with Tom Cruise.

Nevermind all that for now though, how about a bit on the DVD?

First off I already told you this is an advance review copy from Fox, which normally doesn't mean anything other than the UPC label has been scratched off, but for those of you that buy the retail version yours will be slightly different than mine.

Transporter 2 will come as one of Fox's dual sided DVDs, my copy only has Side A, which means I didn't get all the features, but I did get the good stuff, the good stuff being the movie itself. I also got a look at a multitude of deleted and extended scenes, 14 to be exact. I have to be honest here, I see a 2-disc special edition in the future with an extended cut of the film and additional features, most likely to promote a third film in the series.

Think about it, the original Transporter made just over $25 million, Transporter 2 made just over $43 million. History shows that this movie makes more money as it goes on already, who is to say a third film wouldn't make $60-70 million? Not to mention how much money an unrated DVD would make. Tell yah what, I am game.

As for the features I did not get to check out, they are minimal. They include a "Making of Transporter 2" featurette and a "Making of the Music" featurette. To tell you the truth, I am not crying that I missed them.

Overall I liked this movie. There always comes a time when you want to watch a mindless actioner, but you want it to be more than just cars blowing up and impossible stunts. You want the film to have a personality and to be able to make fun of itself all while blowing things up. Transporter 2 is that film. It isn't an Oscar winner, it isn't going to make anyone's top ten list, but you may find it on a "Worst Films of the Year" list. Nevermind all that, if you want fast cars, humor, explosions, charisma and girls in bikinis wielding Uzis then Transporter 2 is for you. If not, go buy Land Before Time 19.
