The sequel to the rather successful action movie in 2002 significantly added to the budget. Thanks to which he added to the entertainment. True, the plot stretches and improbability became even more.
Frank Martin moved from France to Miami, where he became a chauffeur for the wealthy Billings family. One day, the couple's little son is kidnapped and Frank has to use his skills again to get him back and prevent the kidnappers' insidious plan.
Like the first part, the picture is built on the charisma of Jason Statham. In his signature role as a tough and laconic hero, he is, as usual, very good. Here he fights much more than in the first part and the staging of fights is quite decent. There was now no love line, although Mrs. Billings gave very unambiguous signs, but our Frank stoically endured this and limited himself to an offer of friendship.
The rest of the characters are much less memorable. The main villain, played by Alexandro Gassman, is somehow not impressive. But his sexy and dangerous henchman Lola looks very impressive. François Berlin also moved from the first part with the comedic role of the commissioner. In addition, the rather famous former heavyweight boxer Shannon Briggs is present in a small role.
In general, a very decent and dynamic action movie, somewhere slightly inferior to the first part, but quite watchable.
