Crank: High Voltage (2009) R
We start where the original Crank left off. Somehow, Chev fell thousands of feet out of a helicopter, and only managed to get a little dinged. His body would've been splattered all over the street, but these films take place in some sort of alternate reality or something. He gets kidnapped and his heart is stolen from him. So he goes on another killing spree all across the Los Angeles area. And...that pretty much sums it up, unfortunately.
Unlike the first film, halfway through this one you just want it to end. The same old stupid gags are used again. I'm not even going to get into the stupidity of this film, because it would go on for hours. These films are courageous and admirable, but nothing is ever accomplished in the end. We have basically the same storyline here. He has something done to his heart, he murders a tremendous amount of people, has sex in public, gathers a posse, and there's a huge shoot out at the end. I feel like I've seen all this before, could it have been a premonition? Oh wait, now I remember, it was this movie...called Crank. An array of actors/actresses appear along the way, including: Ling Bai, David Carradine, Corey Haim, Geri Halliwell, Clifton Collings Jr., and Ron Jeremy. If you loved the first film, then you should love High Voltage. I'm not one of those people. These idiotic films would best be suited as an HBO or Starz series.
