I had so much fun with this movie. This movie is the perfect popcorn flick. Its so much fun to watch with friends while getting drunk.Obviously this movie is terrible, but it knows that, and it embraces it. It throws everything to the wall and makes you laugh so hard. The performances and story are super over the top and it goes hand in hand with the cinematography and editing.I must say that the editing is so over the top that it makes you feel the same way as the character, so f*cking excited.It is definitely not everybody's cup of tea. Your enjoyment of the film will depend on how far the stick is up you a*s. If you don't mind stupid action movies then you are probably going to enjoy it. But if you only enjoy movies with great characters and well written scripts... you are not enjoying this.Don't get me wrong, I have the stick pretty deep up my a*s, but I know that the fact that this movie is sh*tty is what makes it so good.

It's not hard to see why, either; Crank 2 took the first film's premise - about a hero who has to stay alive by keeping his heart rate pounding - and threw it into surreal, absurd new territory. Ending in a crescendo of violence and fire, you might be forgiven for thinking, as a burning Statham extends his middle finger to the audience, that the stir-crazy hero's adventures have come to an end. Yet during the end credits, we discover that Chev Chelios is scorched, bandage-clad, but still alive.Crank 2 actually did reasonable business, having earned more than double its $15m budget back in theatres alone. At the time of writing, however, Neveldine/Taylor have yet to officially confirm their plans for one, even though actress Amy Smart has suggested that a follow-up as being discussed. If it happens, Crank 3 - once again starring Statham as a now bandage-clad Chelios - could be one of the most bizarre sequels ever made.

Chev Chelios is in an unknown location, sedated, while various Chinese are harvesting his organs. His heart is gone, in an ice chest; a temporary battery powered one in its place. Chev escapes, calls Doc Miles, who tells him there's only an hour's life in the artificial heart, and to keep it charged. Chev needs to find his own heart and get to the Doc for a transplant. He starts his time-limited pursuit of shadowy figures, and his heart........If a film was ever an acquired taste, then this must be the definition. This film makes the first movie look as serious as The 400 Blows. It's as if Neveldine and Taylor went on a huge bender and in their deepest darkest hour, they came up with this, experiment.To sum the film up would be extremely difficult, but if you were to imagine, Manga, Looney Tunes, and a little eighties Jackie Chan, you can only just scrape the edge on the bizarreness of what you will see.But the film works, because you cannot do anything but just go with it. Like a roller coaster, its painful to begin with, but then you get the rush, and just go with it.Statham is brilliant, and the rest of the characters are pure bonkers.You'll either think this film is great, or you'll hate it.

...if you are online reading reviews for this film you've probably inadvertently already stolen some of its magic. watching the first Crank, I was mostly just bored (except for a few crazy scenes), but you did get the sense that mayyyyybe the movie wasn't really taking itself seriously, at all.crank 2 definitely confirms that. if you enjoy absurdity, B-movies, and movies that are COMPLETELY over the top, then do not hesitate to watch crank 2. in the context of going for all-out-insane, and rating it just for pure entertainment value, it really does deserve a 10 out of 10. it's best enjoyed as a surprise, but still, even if you are going into it expecting it to be nuts it will probably exceed your expectations.
