Product Description
CHELIOS FACES A CHINESE MOBSTER WHO HAS STOLEN HIS NEARLY INDESTRUCTIBLE HEART AND REPLACED IT WITH A BATTERY-POWERED TICKER THAT REQUIRES REGULAR JOLTS OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP WORKING
Amazon.com
The critics have not been very kind to Crank: High Voltage. But what do they know? Here’s what this movie has going for it: gratuitous nudity, mindless violence, constant profanity, and a ridiculous storyline. Add to that stereotypes galore (gay, Asian, Latino, the neuropsychiatrically disabled, you name it), strippers with guns, a strike by porn actors (with a cameo appearance by Ron Jeremy), and a guy who refers to his heart as a "strawberry tart," and one can only wonder what’s not to like. In fact, writer-director-producers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor’s sequel to 2006’s Crank is an absolute hoot, a non-stop assault of crazy sights and sounds that will leave you breathless and laughing. As the action starts, Jason Statham’s Chev Chelios has not only survived the fall from a helicopter that ended the earlier film, but is now on the operating table, awake and watching as some Chinese villains harvest his "tart" in order to implant it in their aging leader (a wacky turn by David Carradine). Chev quickly dispatches the bad guys, but the fun’s just starting; the mechanical ticker they’ve put inside him needs constant recharging, so as Chev pursues the real organ, he must use whatever’s available (jumper cables, a police taser, a car cigarette lighter, high voltage power lines) to keep the fake one going. Storywise, that’s about it. But it’s plenty, as the filmmakers’ ultra-kinetic style--with its manic edits, cartoony subtitles, and other envelope-stretching effects--and amusing performances by Amy Smart (as Chev’s girlfriend), Dwight Yoakam (as a "doctor" who helps him figure out what’s happening), and others keep things going. No, Crank: High Voltage ain’t exactly Masterpiece Theater, but this is without a doubt one of 2009’s most entertaining films. --Sam Graham

One too many February 9, 2010
Ron (Jersey)
I liked the original Crank. It is somewhat of a guilty pleasure. It is not a great picture, but it was goofy wall to wall action with a crazy storyline. Crank 2 is exactly the same picture, but even more over the top if that is possible. The bad thing is that the concept it stale the second time around. The regulars from the first are all back and Statham is a good action star, but just about every bit was recycled in some form from the first film. I was hoping for a few new fresh ideas.

 Crazy/awesome over-the-top movie! February 3, 2010
Granthum (San Diego, CA)
Be warned; this movie is gory and it is completely over-the-top, but that's what makes it fun. I promise you have never seen a movie like this one. If you want a movie that is true to life, this isn't the movie for you. If you want something that is real there are plenty of great documentaries out there. If you watch this movie and complain about how "unrealistic" it is then you're completely missing the point. The whole point of a movie is to be entertained, to escape reality for 90 minutes. Crank: High Voltage is an action-packed thrill ride. Jason Statham is awesome and he is the last true action star and he kicks all kinds of ass in this movie. The best in the business. You won't see a better looking movie on Blu ray. Great action and it's funny. What more could you want?

 Major letdown January 19, 2010
B. Hilleary
The first crank had a good story line and good action, but the sequel is full of corny action, camera views and was just painful to watch. I love Jason statham movies but this movie definatly is his worst.
