[T]he best use of REO Speedwagon since Smiley Face.

Yet another D.O.A. for the ADD era.

In Crank: High Voltage, Statham just looks miserable, as if appearing in this lousy picture just sucked all the heart right out of him.

Crank: High Voltage, starring Jason Statham as a man with a machine instead of a heart, is boorish, bigoted and borderline pornographic.

Tasteless, trashy and totally over the top, Crank: High Voltage might also be one of the year's most inventive movies. Sometimes, nothing exceeds like excess.

The movie feels like a form of aversion therapy designed to take the fun out of dumb.

Audience Reviews for Crank: High Voltage

Sep 16, 2013Fast-paced, adrenaline-filled and out-of-place at times. The Neveldine/Taylor combination are back at it with Crank 2: High Voltage, but it's a slight slump from it's predecessor, with the amount of lackluster material that tends to wander off the subject. Regardless, it's still a somewhat-decent, junkie-filled action picture. 3.5/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

Aug 01, 2013Movies like these exist in another realm. They do not make sense. They are proud of it. They celebrate a full-testosterone, chauvinistic, sexist, semi-pornographic, parodic, overtly violent and electricity-charged tsunami of the ideas that precocious adolescents under the influence of nerve-altering hallucinogenics would have if given lots of budget, a camera and lots of porn actors incuding Ron Jeremy in the cast to work for them in order to party with basically everything that is wrong with our insane society. Yes, I love it. This is art. 57/100Edgar C Super Reviewer

May 24, 2013Chev Chelios is back for more mayhem and violence in Crank: High Voltage. When Chev Chelios awakens to find himself being kept alive for organ harvesting he goes on a wild rampage throughout L.A. to get his heart back, which has been sold off to a Chinese gangster. Writer/director team Neveldine & Taylor take everything to an extreme, and it doesn't work. The film is a chaotic mess, and there's no time to get to know or care about the characters. While its audaciousness is impressive, Crank: High Voltage doesn't amount to anything but a bunch of noise.Dann M Super Reviewer

Apr 24, 2012Totally insane, fast paced entertainment. Jason Statham is back, going full-throttle. I'm glad all of the original cast returned including Amy Smart and Dwight Yoakam. There is this one scene that's kind of dumb: it's Chelios vs. this Chinese guy who carries his heart in a red cooler. Instead of using the actual actors, the scene changes into a Godzilla type of fight with two fake look-alike dummies on a fake set. I get the Godzilla reference, but it was still a little pointless. And another dumb scene is at the end, when we see a guy's head in a water tank being supported by tubes to keep him alive. Not only is this completely impossible, it looks totally fake and ridiculous. While Crank 2 may not be as original as the first, it's funnier and perhaps a little more entertaining than the first. If you can get past the unrealistic aspects of it, you'll really have fun with it like I did. Bring on Crank 3.Kevin M Super Reviewer
