  A Honest Evaluation of This Garbage.

  by Kyle_Adkins

  I honestly don't know where to begin...
  
  We'll start with the plot line.. Oh.. wait. There was none. Guess I'll be skipping this paragraph.
  
  Next up we'll move onto the "Action". I honestly think I would have rather watched someone put 2 Million dollars of special effects into playing with sand. It would have been 3x more interesting and probably 2x more action-packed. They even got to a point where they skipped the "Action" and substituted it with cardboard "Godzilla" figurines of themselves and battled in slow motion. I guess hard working actors like Jason needs a day off sometimes, though... Right?
  
  As for Jason's performance, He has the acting range of a rock. I've never seen such a vibrant display of nothing. It's almost like he's mean-mugging my soul.
  
  I want my money back Jason. I'm going to write my Congressman.

  Perfect for action lovers

  by tionio07

  I just got done screening this film for tomorrow. I did not see the first one and although there were several references to the first one, I did not feel lost, they provided enough back story throughout the movie (so don't worry if you haven't seen the first one). I love that it didn't try to be too serious (Loved the Godzilla spoof). There is an extreme amount of violence and language and copious nudity, but what else would you expect from an R rated action flick. This is an absolute must see for action fans!

  Hilarious

  by pliable

  There are many, many people who simply don't get this movie. Which is hilarious in itself, because there is really nothing to get. The point is to just be as ridiculous and over the top as possible. It's supposed to be a brainless guy movie. And they do exactly that, which is why I give this a Must GO!
  
  Go into this movie thinking it's absolutely brainless, and a great comedy, and you will come out greatly satisfied.

  Dark Comedy at it's Best

  by TPJR

  What people seemingly fail to realize about this movie as well as the first is that it's a comedy. A dark, bloody, action-filled comedy, but a comedy none-the-less... It's hilarious, and it gets its money's worth out of that R rating. I can't believe it gets away with just an "R;" language, nudity, gore, sex, violence, shotgun rape! Crank 2 has it all, well, except for a plot. But if you're going to see a movie like this for its plot, face it, you're an idiot. It's about having fun, and if you know that, then you'll love this one. Do not bring the kids!!!

  Great actor, Great movie

  by carlors

  Two words describe this movie creative and awesome. This movie is nothing but action, sex and humor, and people this movie is rated R that means it?s for anyone over 18 years of age so people please stop saying this movie is too violent or theirs too much sex in it. Highly recommend this movie to any one who loves action, keeps you on the edge of your seat from the beginning to the end, It's worth the money, you got to love Statham.

  most sequels suck

  by cheesedip

  crank: high voltage, however, most decidedly does not. it's one of the best action movies ever, and yet another great example of why jason statham is the action star for our age. we don't deserve his awesomeness but it's been given to us and therefore we should worship at his feet, for all the rest of our days.

  Crank High Voltage

  by GDubbya

  To me, this movie was an live action cartoon on steroids. This movie was nonstop action as the main character was trying to locate the person who took his heart. I never saw the first movie so at first, I didn't understand but as I continued watching it and watch the characters get hit by cars preceded by the main character played by Jason Statham fall out of the sky landing on a car and survives, I immediately thought of Wile E. Coyote. I enjoyed the movie overall and thought they had the right actors playing these characters.
  
  If you want to escape from reality for 90 or so minutes, go check this out.

  exactly what it promises.

  by dtwiner

  This movie is fantastic. When i wasn't laughing, I was held over by some great action sequences. There were some moments that were beyond ridiculous, but that's kind of the premise of the movie, it's not at all to be taken seriously. Crank knows exactly what kind of a movie it is, and it delivers perfectly.

  Crank is just as explosively insane as you'd hope!

  by Babymordred121

  This movie is just awesome! It's a completely beautiful portrayal of a relentless man bent solely on obtaining his goal. Statham's portrayal of Chev is just hysterical; the only times he isn't raging against his innumerable adversaries is when he's stumbling around screaming at people to electrocute him!
  
  I hate how everybody is complaining about how the plot isn't deep enough for them; it's exactly as deep as it was intended to be! Chev's goal is simple and so are his methods. There is no excuse for him to sit down at some point and give a massive, heart-throbbing tale of his childhood, since its completely out of character for him to do so! The only emotion he feels toward his enemies (rage) he expresses often and with extreme prejudice, and that's all anyone should expect or honestly wish to see while watching a film like "Crank: High Voltage."

  Go for the mature fun ride.

  by alxthemoviebuff

  Its not going to win the Oscar, but I was laughing the whole time and waiting to see what would happen next. It has a non stop story line that keeps you entertained (granted it's not for kids or puritans). I left the movie with a smile and hoping to see Crank 3.

  They did it again....

  by

  I was not sure if they would be able to come up with a sequal to Crank that would match the action and comedy of the first, I mean how do you make ANOTHER movie about a guy trying to stay alive? But they DID IT! This was just as great as the first one! If you loved that one, this is a must see movie!

  Crank

  4 Bags - Gets you caught up in it's raucous absurdity right from the start, and never lets up. Definitely more enjoyable if you saw the first movie.

  Crank High Voltage

  by akmac61

  Taken as it is obviously meant...tongue in cheek...this is a fun, extremely busy movie. It does earn its R rating so not for the kids, lots of sex, nudity and violence as well as adult humor.
  The humor is what shows the intent of the movie, it is a kick. Although a mans movie, the women seated behind me were having fun from the sound of it.
