Movie Reviews of Crank 2: High Voltage [Blu-ray]Movie Review: Wicked freaking awesome movie Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I apparently have to sum up my review of this movie without swearing, which is going to be a chore.... I think this movie is really good. (So far so good) There is lots of *neat* action scenes that involve people getting the holy living sh uhhhhh I mean that involve heinous acts of violence enacted upon people who may or may not be fully clothed. If you want to see some pansy little weenie crybaby crap with plots and guys making out with each other than you should never, ever watch this movie. This isn't called buttcrack mountain, or diary of a fat woman, or whatever else your sissy movies are called. It's called CRANK. You want to see a movie with a good, heart filled story? Don't buy this. You want to see people getting shot, stabbed, ran over, blown up, set on fire, chopped up, electrocuted, etc. then you should definitely buy this movie immediately. You like seeing people have sex in public? You're in luck! It's got that too! So basically, to sum up this review without foul language: If you like sissy movies, don't buy this movie. If you like totally (expletivie deleted)ing awesome action movies starring bad mother (expletive deleted)'ers who really know how to kick the (expletive deleted) out of everyone, you should immediately buy this movie and watch it as often as possible.
Summary of Crank 2: High Voltage [Blu-ray]You can?t keep a good man down. Jason Statham is back as Chev Chelios ? this time to retrieve his stolen heart (that?s right, he?s running on battery power). High-octane and truly electrifying! 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
