After surviving an incredible plunge to near-certain death, Chev Chelios is abducted by Chinese mobsters. Waking up three months later, Chev finds that his nearly indestructible heart has been replaced with a battery-operated device that requires regular jolts of electricity, or it will fail. Chev escapes from his captors, reunites with his lover, Eve, and sets out on a frantic chase through Los Angeles to get his real heart back.

Critics Consensus

Crank: High Voltage delivers on its promises: a fast-paced, exciting thrill ride that doesn't take itself too seriously.

In Crank: High Voltage, Statham just looks miserable, as if appearing in this lousy picture just sucked all the heart right out of him.

1.5/4

The basic scenario has limitless potential, enough to where I can understand why someone might find it exciting in concept alone. But the filmmakers are too concerned with incorporating action and sleaze to bother themselves with telling a good story.

Neveldine/Taylor destroy cinema and manhandle it brutally into spastic life in two short strokes.

There are lots of boobs, which is always nice, but there is no other reason to watch this mess of a movie. All style, no substance.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, e o filme tem cenas sem sentido e com um final ruim.

Extremely fast paced and action packed psychodelic movie that really feels like a (very effective) parody of the state of modern entertainment 2: High Voltage.

I love Jason Statham films, but I found this very disappointing. It's one-dimensional and all the women (bar one) are whores. They're only there to provie interchangeable body parts. The hero is very unpleasant. However, Jason gives a great performance, as always.
