Crank: High Voltage When we last saw Chev Chelios (Statham), it appeared as though the assassin had met his maker. Wrong. As his story continues, Chelios hunts down the mobster who stole his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working.

Just two movies in, and the Neveldine/Taylor filmmaking duo have a legion of fans who appreciate their hyper-visualized sensibilities. Clearly they have more detractors, but with Jason Statham in your pocket, who cares about critics? Returning alongside Statham and Amy Smart in the sequel are Dwight Yoakam and Efren Ramirez; climbing aboard for the first time is an inspired cast of supporters, including Corey Haim and Bai Ling, who, let’s face it, should have been the primary villain.

Rated R for frenetic strong bloody violence throughout, crude and graphic sexual content, nudity and pervasive language.

Heheheheheh! This is definitely one that goes on the must see list, just for the sheer perversity of it! Escapism at its greatest, let’s just hope some crazy kid with a gun doesn’t quote this as an inspiration for having gone on a murderous binge.
