Is there anything sillier than the Crank movies? Probably not. Anything more awesome? Probably lots of things. Still, the lengths to which the Crank films go to entertain is quite something - no act is too foul or too violent, and no camera movement is too stylized.
Crank 2 revolves around a protagonist whose artificial heart has only an internal battery - the only way it can be charged is if Jason Statham exposes himself to electricity. This video-game style premise permeates the entire film. The only downside is that this video game gets slightly repetitive - even at 85 minutes, a film this constantly amped up gets tiresome, especially when we know our protagonist is in no real danger. I'm not sure I would watch a Crank 3.
