Review of Crank: High Voltage (2009) by Tim W — 18 Jan 2014

This was equally as good as the first Crank, although in saying that you've also then seen it all before so it loses some of its uniqueness and crazy charm. Anyways, its another adrenaline filled hot mess, with indestructible hit man Chev Chelios trying to find the Chinese Gangster who harvested his heart.

He's been outfitted with an electronic one that requires a blast of electricity to keep pumping as he again wreaks havoc on LA in his quest. All the faces from the original return (in very clever ways)as well as Bai Ling who was just freakin nuts but very in tune with the whole vibe.

There was a lot of gratuitous T&A this time around and a couple scenes I actually had to turn away from (slicing off of elbows and nipples) We also get a redeux of the public sex scene this time at the race track and it was just hilarious.

I love the way this is filmed, all choppy and random. I may have seen it all before but I'd watch another one of these movies. The outtakes during the credits were funny too. 01.15.14.
