The Worst Film Ever

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Chelios faces a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working. The first Crank was indeed insane and did have a majority of flaws but Crank 2 is just pure stupidity and a camp fest of insane things like a mega Jason Statham in the heights of Godzilla and even Statham burning and giving a middle finger on the camera. Crank 2: High Voltage is pure awfulness of epic proportions!!! (3/10)

Jason Statham does a really good job as Chev Chelios in Crank. One of my favorite films of the 2000's. Because Chev Chelios always needs adrenaline he does the craziest stuff (kind of GTA in real life) and our beloved Jason plays this role just fantastic. I've seen a lot of his movies and this flick is different. It's not just that he is a cop or a guy who kills cops like in many other films. Even though the style is very special, I loved it. For me it's one of these films you can watch anytime and it's still good. This is exactly a role for Statham, they chose right. When you watch this film, you'll be full with adrenaline. For this flick: 8 out of 10 stars. I'm waiting for Crank 3 ;)

Jason Statham returns as Chev Chelios chasing a Chinese gangster who has taken his heart and substituted it with a mechanical one that needs a regular electrical charge.He hooks up with girlfriend Eve (Amy Smart) who he finds in a strip club. His physician Doc Miles (Dwight Yoakam) gives advice over the phone and also searches for his heart as it seems that the head of the Triad gang has taken it.In his search Chelios takes on and mows down various ethnic gangs and sleazeballs and when his heart runs out of juice, he needs to find inventive ways to crank himself up.This is a frenetic fun filled action film that is at time outrageous, sordid, violent and at times very silly. Chelios has sex in a horse racing track in front of the racegoers and the big showdown is a surreal rip off from the Godzilla films.

Chev Chelios is in an unknown location, sedated, while various Chinese are harvesting his organs. His heart is gone, in an ice chest; a temporary battery powered one in its place. Chev escapes, calls Doc Miles, who tells him there's only an hour's life in the artificial heart, and to keep it charged. Chev needs to find his own heart and get to the Doc for a transplant. He starts his time-limited pursuit of shadowy figures, and his heart........If a film was ever an acquired taste, then this must be the definition. This film makes the first movie look as serious as The 400 Blows. It's as if Neveldine and Taylor went on a huge bender and in their deepest darkest hour, they came up with this, experiment.To sum the film up would be extremely difficult, but if you were to imagine, Manga, Looney Tunes, and a little eighties Jackie Chan, you can only just scrape the edge on the bizarreness of what you will see.But the film works, because you cannot do anything but just go with it. Like a roller coaster, its painful to begin with, but then you get the rush, and just go with it.Statham is brilliant, and the rest of the characters are pure bonkers.You'll either think this film is great, or you'll hate it.
