Crank It Up Again!!!!!

Give me the juice....not orange juice that is but some electricity!! High Voltage that is!!

Crank: High Voltage is a 2009 thriller action film, and sequel to the 2006 action film, Crank. It picks up 3 months after the first film left off, retaining its "real-time" feel and adding loads of surrealism.

If this is the first time sseeing the Crank series you are definitely in for an electrifying treat. Also keep in mind this is definitely a film that you should onlt take face value. It is strictly pure entertainment, just basically enjoy the ride. Crank High Voltage, is one of the best for British actor, Jason Statham, the action is off the chain, absurd scenes (nudity and other nonsense) & jokes, and craziness that just blows your mind into another orbit.

I was really impressed how well paced this movie was and how insanely funny it was as well. There is never a dull moment and to think this is probably one of the best films as it pertains to cinematography for a low budget film of its caliber. In a nutshell this is how you showcase an action-packed movie without having to do a lot of work. Movies should be made without the need of overdone great CGI, charm and character will help to always triumphs over any other flaw.

All I can say OH MY GOODNESS!!! I literally cringed out my seat with some parts of this movie, especially when he had to power up!! GEESH!!! I swear its like watching and playing a video game all at the same time. Only this time its like you can feel every move. No need to worry if there is action because there is plenty of that to boot. This gives some hope that the Spring movies are not dead..Definitely GO SEE IT!!! Tell your FRIENDS and anyone else you know and enjoy the insanity of this great movie!!

In two words to describe this movie...ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!

Just a little trivia for the mind: The artificial heart shown in the movie is actually a real artificial heart, the AbioCor from Abiomed. However the real artificial heart is totally internal and does not include a battery box as shown in the movie. The latest AbioCors can run on battery without recharging (done via an external RF chargers) for over 4 hours.

Grade: B
