Review of Crank: High Voltage (2009) by Mohamed A — 18 Jul 2012
Crank 2: High Voltage is a live-action cartoon. Once you grasp that, you're free to unplug your brain and enjoy the ride. To call this movie ridiculous is an understatement of the highest order, yet it never fails to entertain.
The action is non-stop, the characters are all caricatures, and everyone involved surely had a blast filming this absurd romp. Amazingly, for a film so violent and overblown, there is a lot of comedy, and all of the performers involved deliver the goods.
Jason Statham and Amy Smart reprise their roles and give it their all, but I don't know if I enjoyed any of the performances as much as I enjoyed Dwight Yoakam in his limited contribution to the show.
The score must be mentioned as well, and anyone who enjoys the work of bizarro musician Mike Patton (Faith No More, Tomahawk, Fantomas, Peeping Tom, etc.).
