Not as good as first one but still intense!

I was looking forward to seeing this one because I liked the first film with all of the intense, violent action within it. When I saw it, I was slightly disappointed and some of the action sequences were awesome as well. Where I found it disappointing was that almost every single shot within the film had either violence or sex in it. Basically, went over the top with sex and violence whereas they didn't do that very much in the first film which is why I prefer the first film over this one. There were a few moments of laughter especially the public sex scene because it was a lot more public than it was in the first films.


Jason Statham's performance as Chev Chelios is once again stupid but kick-ass as well! Because Chev's heart needs powering up every second he's living, he takes very dangerous ways of powering it up. In one of the scenes, he put pliers on his tongue, his penis and his nipples. Jason is an actor of entertainment nothing more. I prefer him in Death Race over both Crank films because he was quite an emotional character in that one. Amy Smart wasn?t very good in this film just as she wasn't in the first Crank but I have got to say that she was damn hot!!


The directing from Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor was absolutely terrific in the action scenes but the thing that I personally think that both films have lacked the believability of what Chev goes through. Both of the Crank films make it sound partly like a science fiction film.


Overall, Crank 2: High Voltage is a good film for entertainment and that's it. Rather flawed in some ways but still decent to watch. Not as good as the first Crank but could?ve been a lot better.

7/10
