After surviving an incredible plunge to near-certain death, Chev Chelios is abducted by Chinese mobsters. Waking up three months later, Chev finds that his nearly indestructible heart has been replaced with a battery-operated device that requires regular jolts of electricity, or it will fail. Chev escapes from his captors, reunites with his lover, Eve, and sets out on a frantic chase through Los Angeles to get his real heart back.

Crank: High Voltage delivers on its promises: a fast-paced, exciting thrill ride that doesn't take itself too seriously.

In Crank: High Voltage, Statham just looks miserable, as if appearing in this lousy picture just sucked all the heart right out of him.

1.5/4

The basic scenario has limitless potential, enough to where I can understand why someone might find it exciting in concept alone. But the filmmakers are too concerned with incorporating action and sleaze to bother themselves with telling a good story.

Neveldine/Taylor destroy cinema and manhandle it brutally into spastic life in two short strokes.

Absolutely rotten. Probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Wierd story. Had some laughs. But mostly about how bad it was. Can't recommend at all!

A Dadaist masterpiece that holds similar appeal to the film Freddy Got Fingered, although in an action context. Embraces exploitation shlock far more earnestly and authentically than Robert Rodriguez or Rob Zombie ever managed to.

There are lots of boobs, which is always nice, but there is no other reason to watch this mess of a movie. All style, no substance.
