Movie Review – Crank: High Voltage – Startling Battle Film
Every once in a while a movie comes along that makes you wonder what in the world they were thinking when they decided to put this movie together. The action is so off the wall, the story line is so ludicrously outrageous, and the fight scenes so incredibly over the top that you have to wonder if it is some kind of joke. But when a movie like this pulls of two hours of fantastic entertainment, then it's all worth it. "Crank: High Voltage," starring Jason Statham is such a movie. One you absolutely cannot miss.
Our mythological yarn starts out with the hero being thrown out of a helicopter. The giant bang he makes on the earth makes the evening news, of course, but not sooner than his body is scooped up and taken away in a van packed with questionable characters. Next thing we know, our hero is lying in a make shift infirmary, and being operated on by a general practitioner with a cigarette hanging out of his jaws.
He wakes up, and finds that his heart has been replaced by a mechanical heart. We find out that our protagonist has an unusually burly heart, and it has been stolen to be entrenched into the leader of a recognized criminal crew somewhere in Southern California. So our hero has to not only locate his original heart, but he also has to discover somebody to change it out with the electrical one that has been entrenched into him.
There's only one problem. His electrical, passing heart runs off of an external battery that gets dented somehow. So he must continuously give himself electrical shocks to keep his short-term heart from giving out on him. This makes for an out of the ordinary pursue across the inhospitable surroundings of southern California, as he battles gangsters from all walks of life.
Throughout the entire exploit to locate his earliest heart, he is in unvarying contact with a pal of his, who happens to be a accomplished open heart doctor, although we learn he has had his medicinal license taken away due to some unlucky accident that transpired with an ex girlfriend of his. But all the same, we trust that once our hero locates his original heart, his friend will be able to swap it out with the bogus one.
We have the closing combat, which includes our leading role, two opponent gangs, and a gangster's cranium that is being kept living in jar. In a last ditch effort to charge his heart one last time, our hero climbs up an electrical pole and zaps himself one last time. But the electrical shock proves to be a bit too stout, and he is engulfed in fire. Meanwhile, his collaborator productively finds his unique heart, and his pal, the disgraced heart surgeon, attempts to restore him to health. Will he be a success? The only way to find out is to hire this unbelievable DVD, before it's too late.
