Editorial Review:
The critics have not been very kind to Crank: High Voltage. But what do they know? Here’s what this movie has going for it: gratuitous nudity, mindless violence, constant profanity, and a ridiculous storyline. Add to that stereotypes galore (gay, Asian, Latino, the neuropsychiatrically disabled, you name it), strippers with guns, a strike by porn actors (with a cameo appearance by Ron Jeremy), and a guy who refers to his heart as a "strawberry tart," and one can only wonder what’s not to like. In fact, writer-director-producers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor’s sequel to 2006’s Crank is an absolute hoot, a non-stop assault of crazy sights and sounds that will leave you breathless and laughing. As the action starts, Jason Statham’s Chev Chelios has not only survived the fall from a helicopter that ended the earlier film, but is now on the operating table, awake and watching as some Chinese villains harvest his "tart" in order to implant it in their aging leader (a wacky turn by David Carradine). Chev quickly dispatches the bad guys, but the fun’s just starting; the mechanical ticker they’ve put inside him needs constant recharging, so as Chev pursues the real organ, he must use whatever’s available (jumper cables, a police taser, a car cigarette lighter, high voltage power lines) to keep the fake one going. Storywise, that’s about it. But it’s plenty, as the filmmakers’ ultra-kinetic style--with its manic edits, cartoony subtitles, and other envelope-stretching effects--and amusing performances by Amy Smart (as Chev’s girlfriend), Dwight Yoakam (as a "doctor" who helps him figure out what’s happening), and others keep things going. No, Crank: High Voltage ain’t exactly Masterpiece Theater, but this is without a doubt one of 2009’s most entertaining films. --Sam Graham
Crank 2: High Voltage [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Awful! 
2009-12-24 - This is an awful movie. I like Jason Statham, but this movie was simply terrible.
Mindless Fun Once u get it 2 Play 
2009-12-23 - Warning be prepared to wanna be Cranked-up to get the Bloody BR Disc to Play
After 90min. of Pure Hate of this BR i Finally got it to Work Properly
Before u buy this BR u need 2 do a Google/Yahoo Search on this BR to make sure u have the correct Firmware update Plus
if God Hates you like he does me You'll need a SD Card
Why I have No Clue?!!!!!?!?!?!?
If the BR Format is Gonna be the Next Step in Flawless HQ Films......
I Hope this Type of Major Prob. doesn't continue
Besides this Major "Screw Job" on the Consumers The BR does have superior PQ and the Audio is DTS 5.1 (which is better then some Audio shown in some Theaters)
The Film itself is without a Doubt A Throwback to exploitation Films /Grind House Films of the 1970's
Everything is Over the top Allot of "Old Fashioned Stunts and Practical shoots and Over-the top "Hardcore" Violence
Returning are:
Jason Statham who IMO is this Decades Ultimate Action Hero/Anti Hero
Amy Smart, (Who really turns it up a Notch
and Dwight Yoakam (who is just Plain slick, sleazy, and very out there in the Role of Doc Miles)
Plus Bai Ling is Great (She is just born for this type of Film)
Ron Jeremy who is Not Naked But, Funny!!!!
Some of the Bad Guys look like they stepped out of Saint Row 2
(Which I'm not sure is A Good or Bad thing)
If u loved the 1st Crank Take another hit
And hold on for a Crazy T&A Filled Ride of Action and Over the Top Violence, and bizarre characters
Over All 9/10
unbelievable 
2009-12-04 - one of the worst statham movie ive ever watched. poor decision making on his part when he accepted this role
Awesome Movie 
2009-12-01 - You can get it so cheap used, there is no reason to get a regular DVD. This movie is a great sequel to the original! Chelios is AWESOME!
The worst movie you can see ... 
2009-11-23 - I don't understand how people with a brain can enjoy something like this ! Crank 2 is very, very bad !!!
