Critic Reviews

  • Rob Nelson, Variety

    Yet another D.O.A. for the ADD era.

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

    In Crank: High Voltage, Statham just looks miserable, as if appearing in this lousy picture just sucked all the heart right out of him.

  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

    Crank: High Voltage, starring Jason Statham as a man with a machine instead of a heart, is boorish, bigoted and borderline pornographic.

  • Jason Anderson, Toronto Star

    Tasteless, trashy and totally over the top, Crank: High Voltage might also be one of the year's most inventive movies. Sometimes, nothing exceeds like excess.

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    The movie feels like a form of aversion therapy designed to take the fun out of dumb.

    Gleefully offensive, satirical, brutally violent, racist, and hectic. One of the most insane, irreverent, and politically incorrect films I've ever seen.

  • Anthony L


    Crank 2 has even bigger balls than the first. Making a sequel was a risky concept, seeing as he died in the first film and all but then it's not really a film that takes itself too seriously. I love the dialogue, the snappy editing and the quirky interruptions. It's the… More

    Flawed flawed flawed flawed. But what a fun movie. I was glad to see Chev Chelios again. Mark and Brian "just juiced" up the movies! I really hope they make a third. These movies are my guilty pleasure.

    Wow. Get ready. Neveldine + Taylor didn't break their promise to us, and instead they delivered a concoction of glorious ADD-induced mayhem not seen since the first Crank. Except - it's more glorious.
