Crank 2: High Voltage

Jason Statham is back as Chev Chelios. And it's fucking awesome. The first movie was know for its comic book style violence and it's over the top, indestructible hero, and this one raises the bar.

Again, at the end of the first one Chev dies. But he got better. What really happened is after falling to the earth from a helicopter, Chev is picked up by the Chinese Triads. See, his heart is so strong that they want it for their leader, Poon Dong. He's like 100 and is basically a god to them, and since Chev survived their poison, he has the perfect, strong heart to keep Poon Dong alive. So he's given a fake heart with a shitty battery. Bad fucking idea. Criminals. If you want to kill Chev Chelios, shoot him point blank in the fucking head. If you give him any chance to regain consciousness, he will kill the shit out of you.

In the last Crank film, Chev had to keep his adrenaline up to counteract the drug and stay alive. In this one, he has to keep an electrical charge, to keep his heart beating. This leaves Chev to shock the fuck out of himself at any given opportunity. If you thought Crank had some hot chicks and a good amount of nudity and some sweet action, this installment will make you shit yourself. Chev Chelios is the baddest motherfucker ever, and he will stop at nothing to get his bloody vengeance.

The cast also has Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakam, Efren Ramirez, Ling Bai, David Carradine, Corey Haim, Geri Halliwell, Maynard James Keenan, Lloyd Kaufman and Ron Jeremy. Yep. Best fucking cast ever.

Normally I would break down the movie piece by piece and tell you what was cool and what didn't work that great. Guess what? It was all awesome. The Crank series is quickly becoming one of the greatest action series of all time. Thank you, Jason Statham. Thank you for being a huge bad ass and making really dumb awesome action films. One standout scene I will mention briefly is Chev and Eve (Amy Smart) on the track at the Hollywood horse track, fucking in every position you could imagine. Yep. Go see this fucking movie. Hot chicks, fast cars, and the baddest motherfucker on the planet. That's all I have to say. Long live Crank!
