Jonas Tjellesen This movie is absolute garbage. Don't get me wrong, i love Jason Statham, but this movie is properly one of the worst he has ever made. I've only seen the first 30 minutes, but holy BIIP that was bad. Its just one big running and confusing scenes where you have no idea whats going on. The acting is really bad (Jason does a okay job) But the others are really bad. You really have no idea whats going on in the beginning. If you have watched Crank 1, then this is a absolute downfall from that. The plot, the actors, the camera are just bad. I really hope for the sake of the movie that it gets better after the first 30 min, because that was literally the most non-fun action part i've ever seen.

bowmanblue One day all films will be made like this. Crank 2 is the imaginatively-titled sequel to Crank, following the exploits of seemingly-indestructible hit-man, Chev Chelios, as he runs around L.A. murdering every hood and henchman he comes across (and he comes across quite a few).I loved this film. It's completely stupid. But, at least it knows it is. If you ever saw Clive Owen in 'Shoot 'em Up' and thought that was ridiculously over the top, well... you haven't seen anything compared to a Crank film.Jason Statham, as Chelious, has had his heart removed (just after he fell out of a helicopter over Los Angeles) and it's been replaced by an artificial one which needs charging every ten minutes or so. Therefore, as he runs around killing one thug after the next, he has to come up with all sorts of ingenious ways of recharging himself, such as placing his hands on high voltage cables and tazering himself.That is just a taste of the silliness you will expect during Crank 2. If you think that sounds daft, steer well clear - that's just the tip of the iceberg.Like I say, Crank 2 knows it's stupid and goes to great lengths to prove it to you. If you're unable to suspend your disbelief, then don't even bother watching this. I have read many a review referring to it as 'utter rubbish.' And, they're right - it is rubbish, but it's not trying to be anything else.It's grotesque, offensive, wall-to-wall daft, senseless rubbish and violence. And it's great.Sense of humour a must when choosing to watch this.Bring on Crank 3.

thesar-2 You would have to be high to remotely like Crank: High Voltage.Watching this movie was more of a chore than any kind of entertainment. I would have never, ever seen this movie if not for the absolutely hilarious podcast: How Did This Get Made. And that was the chore…I set for myself: watch or re-watch all the films they covered during the years of their podcasting.Despite being a HUGE Jason Statham fan, the second part 1 ended and the trailers were released for this, I was out. Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen the first terrible movie of this series: Chev "Cheerios" Chelios falls to his death from more than a thousand or two feet at the ending of 2006's Crank. This movie opens with him, I guess, bouncing?, and the doctors who give him an artificial heart with a catch.Backing up. This may be in the same and insane realm they created in the first episode, but it isn't Friday the 13th. This man died. Replacing his heart would not change that. So, basically, I was tuned out from minute one.At any rate, Cheerios needs to continuously charge this artificial heart until his previously adrenaline-deprived heart is back in place.Much like the first one, I will repeat what I wrote there: The entire movie is a blended video game, rave home video, a live-action anime cartoon, obscene music video and snuff film. The only difference is, it's twice as crazy this time around, if that's possible. And the concept and the lunacy had overstepped its welcome by minute two.Truthfully, I just prayed to get to the ending as quickly as possible so I could listen to the How Did This Get Made podcast. Unfortunately, it was not one where they ridiculed it; it was one of the rare shows they relished in this crap.That's not really fair to people that like this kind of movie. More power to you if you did. Maybe it's because I don't play video games, attend raves, hate anime, like grounded music videos and never once seen a snuff film.* * * Final thoughts: I know the world is calling for a Crank 3. No doubt the boys (and girl) at How Did This Get Made will review it on their show. I guarantee I will both miss the movie and that episode. I can't take this idiocracy any further.

videorama-759-859391 I don't know what drug this murder was on. Crank 2 is so ridiculous, it becomes more so as the movie progresses, where by the end, you're so mind numbed by what you're witnessed, you're totally dumbfound, it makes the original look respectively good. Out of interest, it has me wanting to re watch the original. If only this sequel had to surface, and rob the first of it's dignity. It takes on moments later from where the first one finished, which Stratham (who I must admit can't act) taking that big fall is spared, in one of the most desperate and idiotic excuses for a sequel I've ever seen. Why couldn't we just let him fall and die, which would of been the writers prior intention. But later sequel temptation must of got the best of him. Stratham's old heart is replaced with an artificial heart, where he must keep cranking it, anyway he can, through battery voltage, or strenuous public sex with his hot girlfriend Eve. The violence is totally off the wall, some of it sheerly sick, one scene involving nipple slashing. One reason to see it, is due to it's late star, 80's heart throb, Haim, as a bouncer, looking much worse for ware. But given that, it's a great insane flick, real cheesy, with action aplus, but too is just so ludicrous which does walk a style in ludicrous respect. I mean that head, minus everything else, kept alive in that battery acid tank, while being attached to electrodes, was like the last straw. But look at this movie as just a time passing, 'leave your brain at the door flick'.
