He was dead but he got better. If you saw the first "Crank" you know it ended with Chev Chelios falling out of a helicopter after running around keeping poison from killing him using adrenaline. This film was even sillier and much more ridiculous than the original, there was less of a plot and more action. Now some would dislike this amount of pointless violence and explosions however it was obviously necessary as this time his heart was taken and replaced with a electric heart.
While some scenes such as the five minute sex scene were a tad unnecessary even if enjoyable. The film on the whole was rather enjoyable and at times hilarious. The music was very modern at suited the movie very well as it was incredibly fast paced. The film at parts had throw backs to the original movie as well as cut offs to funny quick animated shorts and flashbacks.
However I may be slightly bias as Jason Statham is my favorite actor of all time. I loved Transporter, adored Death race and was amazed by Snatch (honorable mentions include the bank job, transporter 2 and 3, war and cellular.) In my opinion Jason Statham is the ultimate action hero, he is my Chuck Norris.
So in conclusion if you enjoy fast paced action, car chases, half naked women, crude comedy or Jason Statham taking down fifteen cops at the same time you need to see this film I give it a 5/5 top score.
