CRANK: HIGH VOLTAGE (2009) - April 18, 2009
An awesomely ridiculous film starring the perfectly cast Jason Statham as Chev Chelios, a man on a mission to recover his stolen heart. Chelios must contend with the scads of gangsters who stand in his way, as well as the insufficient power supply on his artificial heart. Like the first one, the directing duo of Neveldine and Taylor infuse the film with a wildly over-the-top style that, in any other film, would probably annoy me to no end. Somehow, though, it works perfectly here. The film starts out really well, runs of of steam a little bit, then recovers nicely by the time it comes to an end. It's pretty much complete insanity, but it's inspired insanity. ***
