Crank: High Voltage

He was dead...But he got better


Crank: High Voltage
Beyond over the top, the second installment of the Crank franchise picks up exactly where the first left off. After surviving a fall onto a car, our hard-pressed hero is rescued by Chinese gangsters, who promptly rip out his heart and replace it with a mechanical version. Big mistake on their part. We spend the rest of the movie following Crank as he works his way through the gangsters, seeking his heart back, while at the same time taking regular shocks to keep his pacemaker running. Expect lots of violence, nudity and bad language.

96 minutes.
Action, Comedy, Crime.

Chris Bilton quote iconThe only reason to endure Crank: High Voltage is to bear witness to the cinematic pinnacle of dumbness.

C. Fuchs quote iconThe film is so over-directed and over-edited (not to mention offensive to just about everyone with any sort of activity taking place above the shoulders - even acknowledging its tongue planted firmly in cheek nature) that beyond possibly entertaining game-boys to some degree, it's only going to inspire headaches and motion sickness nausea in anyone else unfortunate enough to stumble into it
