What a beautiful movie!

Nice effects though.

Dreadfully Boring

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

After falling a mile from a helicopter at the end of 'Crank' it looked as if Chev Chelios was finally dead but as this sequel opens we see a group of Chinese gangsters scraping him off the road and taking him away. It turns out he is not dead… yet. The Triads want his superior organs for illegal transplants. They take his heart and give him a battery powered replacement. When he wakes up three months later he decides to get his own heart back. The battery back for his new heart is quickly broken so he must keep finding ways to charge the heart's internal 'one hour' battery. He must also confront a wide variety threats; these include Chinese gangsters, Mexican gangsters and the police. He also bumps into his old girlfriend, Eve, and Venus, the brother of his late friend Kaylo. While Chelios is searching for his heart gangsters are searching for him to get their revenge for what he did in the first film.If you didn't enjoy the first film you will hate this as it is basically the same but even more exaggerated; there is lots of gratuitous violence, lots of gratuitous swearing, a fair amount of gratuitous nudity and a gratuitous sex scene on a race track which takes place during a horse race in front of hundreds of spectators… that is a lot of gratuitous goings on but if you aren't offended it is pretty funny. Jason Statham is great as Chelios; he might not be a great actor but when it comes to this sort of role there aren't many people as good as him. Amy Smart is pretty solid as Eve and Bai Ling is funny as Ria, a prostitute Chelios saves leading to her following him from then on. The rest of the cast are fairly forgettable but good enough. The action is exciting in an over the top way and there were plenty of laugh out loud moments… more than some comedies. The ways he finds to recharge his battery are imaginative and often pretty funny. Overall I'd say that this isn't for the easily offended but if you are looking for over-the-top action with plenty of laughs you could do much worse.

Jason Statham returns as Chev Chelios chasing a Chinese gangster who has taken his heart and substituted it with a mechanical one that needs a regular electrical charge.He hooks up with girlfriend Eve (Amy Smart) who he finds in a strip club. His physician Doc Miles (Dwight Yoakam) gives advice over the phone and also searches for his heart as it seems that the head of the Triad gang has taken it.In his search Chelios takes on and mows down various ethnic gangs and sleazeballs and when his heart runs out of juice, he needs to find inventive ways to crank himself up.This is a frenetic fun filled action film that is at time outrageous, sordid, violent and at times very silly. Chelios has sex in a horse racing track in front of the racegoers and the big showdown is a surreal rip off from the Godzilla films.

I liked it!!! It was good and as funny as the first one was and again our hero is fighting for his Survival but this time his heart is stolen?!!!! OMG!!! The film has again got its original directors "Neveldine/Taylor" and they had proved themselves again!!!The Comedy was good, the action was good, acting was good and overall it was a fun movie.Statham reprises his "Chev Chelios" role very well and Amy Smart again Suits fully as a Co-star to Statham.The other supporting cast was also good."The film follows the story after Chev was fallen from the helicopter to the road and strange things happen to him again after his heart was stolen and is replaced by Battery now he must save him by getting his heart back."The story went on to a next level in this one and I liked it and recently Statham confirmed the "sequel is in progress" definitely watch this one also.

I sense a distinct fear in whoever conceived this nonsense. Fear of failure at the box-office? For sure. But not just fear: tons of insecurity as well. It might just be that trashy, cretinous, over-the-top flicks like these are created by film-makers unsure of their ability to deliver more conventional (read: non-retarded) filmic product. When you know – or fear - that you can't cut it in mainstream (which is bad enough as it is) you either do something much better – or much worse, as is the case with C2:HV. Or perhaps this IS mainstream? These days, what do I know: I'm not a 21st-century 15 year-old snot-picker: dumb, brainwashed, spoiled, out of touch with reality, confused, jaded, and decadent beyond my years. I don't follow the action-movie scene much, so it's possible that what I'd just witnessed was a standard entry in the dead-as-a-doorknob action genre. It's not as if C2:HV is noticeably dumber than any of the "Transporter" movies, or almost any other action flick farted out these days out of the derrieres of cocaine-sniffing, silicone-paying Hollywood imbeciles.I actually liked the first "Crank" movie because it was fun, exciting, fresh, original and silly. Not too silly, not too overboard, with roughly the acceptable amount of fantasy and science-fiction nonsense to strike a decent balance between the traditional and the extreme-for-the-sake-of-it just-plain-stupid. Once again, I come back to the subject of insecurity and fear. "The first movie was nuts, so this time we need to go WAY beyond that, and make the film a thousand times crazier!" said a crack-smoking Hollywood producer and saw a bunch of brown-nosing yuppie losers nod their heads in sycophantic agreement.I have no problems with a film not taking itself seriously; there are many examples of how that can work. But – in skillful hands only. The logic behind this movie is that if 100 grams of sugar give your brain a nice rush, then 5 tons of sugar will be 5000 times as enjoyable. Give a monkey a brain and watch him rule a Hollywood meeting.By the time the first half-hour was over, I'd lost all interest in the plot, the characters, and all the tension (whatever little left there was) was completely gone. In an action comedy you'd better make sure the gags work, because the thin, irrelevant plot will not carry the weight of the film's stupidity on its own. The gags are mostly horrible because written by a team of badly-trained Californian apes.Lucky for them that they had Statham and Mike Patton's fairly decent soundtrack, otherwise this movie would have been a straight-to-the sewer release.
