TTTT

Just in case you were wondering about the title, it means Turd's Twitter on Transporter Two, catchy, ain't it?

The Transporter 2 has just as much energy and action as the first of the series did, just with new bad guys and a different reason for Frank, Jason Statham, to drive his AUDI. Obviously, Frank has all the makings of a super machismo action star. Dripping with testosterone, he dons his traditional black suit and back personalized AUDI and takes off to fight (read: beat up everyone in his way with his martial art skills) an evil man attempting to poison the world with a new drug.

But underlying this "superman" is one of the other main players in the movie, Audrey Billings. She is supposed to play the role of supporting mother to a powerful statesman of a husband, but she breaks the rules. By siding with Frank most of the movie, and even disobeying direct orders from the police, she tears from the familar husband abiding role and gains more power for women.
