My Comment :
Being a fan of crank 1, I was excited for this. Jason Statham is great once again as his second time portraying Chev Chelios, now an ex hit man in search of his stolen heart. It sounds crazy, but it is crazy fun! Amy Smart is great as Chev’s girlfriend and you better believe there’s another public sex scene in this! Great cameo by Corey Haim who plays a mullet-wearing pimp.
The film has some oddities, for example a King Kong type fight sequence, a “F**K YOU CHEV CHELIOS” montage and an interesting flash back of Chev as a kid. It’s all OK though, because this type of film can get away with it…it’s chaos unfolding in front of your eyes. Very fun chaos. The flashback scene was a bit much and no need to develop Chev’s character any further than it has already, we get the point, he’s a bad ass and always has been that way. Other than the flashback scene, this film will take you on a thrill ride across Los Angeles, dealing with Mexican gangsters, Chinese Triad Mafia, random old ladies, a porn industry strike and Kaylo’s twin brother Venus looking to avenge his brother’s murder.
This film breaks rules. This film hits hard. This film is extremely fast. And this film is hilariously action-packed. This film is for anyone who wants to have fun and laugh for an hour and a half. Absolutely brainless, but it’s fun.
Jason Statham is great. I like both Crank movie . This film is extremely fast and crazy.
