Crank: High Voltage

So yesterday I saw two mediocre movies with my Dad before he had to head off to Korea today for like 7 months, and we had a pretty fun time. Since there was nothing else out to watch, we went to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Crank: High Voltage. So lets start off this review with Crank: High Voltage.

I'll try to not spoil anything that's not blatantly obvious.



The first thing I don't understand about this movie is how he survived the fall from the first movie. They even ask how he survived in the movie and the girlfriend was just like, he's Chev Chelios! Fucking nice explanation you idiot. So he gets picked up and his heart is replaced by a temporary one that needs electric stimulation to keep pumping blood. Another retarded thing about this movie is he's awake when they take out his heart. I mean, Christ, can he defy the laws of reality anymore?! He even has the mask over his mouth and face. That's pretty retarded. So he beats people up and he goes to get his heart back. Shit hits the fan and his battery pack is destroyed and he needs electric stimulation from other sources, like cars, power boxes, friction, stuff like that. So he beats people up and copies a lot of the things from the first Crank. I won't give away what he copies but all of the parts that were new and interesting in the first one have their special value destroyed in this one. It wasn't as good as the first one, but if you have nothing else to do then you can go watch it. All in all, I like it. It is a funny movie that doesn't take itself seriously. There aren't too many movies that can be called Action-Comedy, but it can take the medal for it. I just think that it changed too suddenly from a serious action movie to a comedy.
