Crank 2: High Voltage

This might be the craziest movie I've ever seen
I enjoyed how unique the first Crank film was and this sequel is even more wild, but I liked it a lot less. Crank: High Voltage is a roller coaster ride that last 85 minutes and features some really gross scenes. For example, a guy getting a shotgun rammed up his rear end isn't even in the top three weird moments in this flick. There was one scene where a guy had to punish himself for letting his boss down, which I had to turn my head and look away (I can't remember the last time I did that). There is almost zero realism here, much like the original, only multiplied by a hundred. Jason Statham is the main action star in the business right now and he is pretty good at what he does. He went all out here and I'm sure he has nothing but bruises and a nice paycheck to show for it. The large supporting cast was better than average and Amy Smart was especially yummy. If you liked Crank (2006) you will probably enjoy this one well enough, but I think they should put this series to rest...

Great movie...too bad most bd-viewers won't be able to watch it.
An excellent sequel that manages to not only surpass the 1st in excessiveness,(e.g. action, violence, crude yet humorous dialogue,) but also turn out to be an excellent film simultaneously. It does more than just pick up where the first movie left off, it actually incorporates the last 5-minutes or so to make one of the more seamless transitions I have ever seen in a movie-arc. While not family friendly, for the bachelor(ette) looking to amuse oneself with a hypothetical classic, "what if Superman & the Terminator got in a fight..." realization, this film does not disappoint. And, like all of Jason Statham's movies the non-stop cinematic action overflows like a volcanic eruption. Sure the plot is shallow but the creative applications of violence, no matter how unrealistic, make for a good show that overall deserves 4-stars. So why the 1-star rating you ask? It is because the distributors decided to make the disc unplayable on, literally,90% of all conventional BD-players. BD-version...

An Awesome Action Film On Drugs!!!
This movie made me feel like I was high and drunk while watching an action film, I don't really know how to explain that, but it was an awesome feeling. I also thought it was extremely hilarious and it was a really good sequel. After three months, Chev Chelios is back in action, and tries to find his heart before he dies. Doc Miles tells him that the Chinese gave him an AbioCor Artificial heart, and he must keep it charged, or he will die. He has jumper cables helping him, rubbing up against an old woman, makin' sweet love to his girlfriend, Eve on a horse race track, and grabbing electric wires. I highly recommend CRANK 2: HIGH VOLTAGE!!!
