"...that can best be described as...implausible!"
Crank 2 picks up from the end of the first movie, hits the ground running, and barely stops for breath throughout its running time. Partly a glossier and more controlled version of its original, Crank 2 is gleefully sadistic, demented and chaotic, with its mish-mash of visual and cultural styles successfully giving the film momentum and energy. Jason Statham gives the cartoon figure of Chev Chelios a curious air of credibility, whilst the wonderful Amy Smart seems underused this time. The final mansion shoot-out is hardly John Woo, but the film-makers deliver 92 minutes of pure, silly fun that works admirably in its own context.
