Keith Uhlich Time Out [T]he best use of REO Speedwagon since Smiley Face. Rated: 3/6 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Rob Nelson Variety Yet another D.O.A. for the ADD era. Sep 1, 2009 Full Review Stephanie Zacharek Salon.com In Crank: High Voltage, Statham just looks miserable, as if appearing in this lousy picture just sucked all the heart right out of him. Apr 20, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 1.5/4 Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault Neveldine/Taylor destroy cinema and manhandle it brutally into spastic life in two short strokes. Rated: A Sep 22, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Tops its predecessor in every method of excessive vulgarity. Rated: 8/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

David W Phobe. When Statham looks into the camera and flicks off the viewers, I felt like he had been doing that the whole movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review James W Come on, you know what you're signing up for with crank. It's a popcorn movie in the purest sense. To put it bluntly, you're watching a Jason Bourne type who has to restart their heart with a car batter (or etc.) throughout the film. It's awesome. Don't go into it expecting rosebud/citizen Kane. You're here for action and humor. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Sahooon C I loved the first one and this is a slightly tamer? version of that film. It's still WILD but the cutting and action cut aways were reduced. It's a sequel that didn't need to exist but I'm glad it does! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review Marc Z This sequel to a very stupid yet lovable action film is also stupid, less original, but better. When a person clearly dies at the end of the movie it usually is the end of the character. Not in this case. The story starts with him dead and continues the same them through a different premise that plays out in a similar pattern to the first. While it is similar to the first film, the execution is better. IT is filmed better. The action and cinematography are better. The humor is elevated and it seems to understand how stupid it is. Dwight Yokam, like in the first, is very good. When I saw Ron Jeremy in this I realized that these films remind me of the style of the Toxic Avenger series-albeit better. I liked it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/17/23 Full Review Ivan Z Very entertaining, not a master piece, but highly recomend Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Joe R One of the most insane, crazy, kinetic, movies I've ever seen in my life.
