September 13, 2011Gleefully offensive, satirical, brutally violent, racist, and hectic. One of the most insane, irreverent, and politically incorrect films I've ever seen.
-
May 24, 2011Crank 2 has even bigger balls than the first. Making a sequel was a risky concept, seeing as he died in the first film and all but then it's not really a film that takes itself too seriously. I love the dialogue, the snappy editing and the quirky interruptions. It's the logical p... read more

April 26, 2011Flawed flawed flawed flawed. But what a fun movie. I was glad to see Chev Chelios again. Mark and Brian "just juiced" up the movies! I really hope they make a third. These movies are my guilty pleasure.

March 26, 2011fb732260458Wow. Get ready. Neveldine + Taylor didn't break their promise to us, and instead they delivered a concoction of glorious ADD-induced mayhem not seen since the first Crank. Except - it's more glorious.

December 5, 2010I was shocked to see that this is the same directors as the first one....cause it totaly sucks compared...it's the same thing...but there's no feeling what so ever....boring....bad actors...the whole package...3 funny moments though...

August 12, 2010The continuation of Chev Chelios, the unkillable man and adrenaline god of LA. This is just as good as the original and gives you everything you could possibly want from the genre again. This goes further in some ways, having a Godzilla-like battle scene, Hooker assassins, nipple... read more

August 6, 2010I love both of the crank films and this is awesome and hilarious and as long as you can get past how crazy the movie is and if you can just enjoy the movie for what it is, a nonstop crazy action movie, then you should love this movie. A-

June 10, 2010Crank 2: High Voltage is an amped up version of first film. Everything about this film is even more over the top this around (if you can believe that). Crank 2 picks up right after the events of the end of the first film. This time around, Chev Chelios has got an artificial heart... read more

April 21, 2010Sometimes, a little kid will do something funny on accident. Everyone laughs and the kid is proud of the fact that he cracked up the adults. So then he starts doing the thing on purpose, and suddenly it's not so funny anymore, in fact, it's obnoxious. Crank: High Voltage is th... read more

April 12, 2010Well i really enjoyed the first one and although this is fairly entertaining, funny, action packed and has Statham in it, this sequel just isnt great!!! its exacttly the same as the first just with a different set of people he is going to kill!!
the movie was also weird in place... read more

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

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Crank: High Voltage, starring Jason Statham as a man with a machine instead of a heart, is boorish, bigoted and borderline pornographic. Full Review

Jason Anderson, Toronto Star
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. Full Review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The movie feels like a form of aversion therapy designed to take the fun out of dumb. Full Review

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
It's so amped up that High Voltage suffers its own energy shortage well before the finale. It's also every bit as stupid as it sounds. Full Review

Sam Adams, Los Angeles Times
Not everyone has a taste for gun-wielding strippers and Godzilla parodies, but for those who do, Crank High Voltage is like a 1,000-volt shot to the heart. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
There's not enough here for me to recommend it without reservations to anyone outside of that narrow target audience. Full Review

As usual, Statham anchors the proceedings with his simmering charisma and impressive physicality.
