Movie Review: "Crank 2: High Voltage" (2009)

I just got back from watching Crank 2. This one is definitely faster, raunchier and flashier than the first one. It starts off exactly where the last one left off, with Jason Statham's (The Transporter) character Chev Chelios limp body being picked up from the street seconds after he falls off a helicopter to later find out that his still working heart is removed from his chest and replaced with a battery powered ticker. He then goes into a wild goose chase to look for his heart encased in a coleman cooler being brought by a chinese triad henchman all across LA. What comes after is a trail of blood, bodies and girls. Definitely a guy's movie. The main difference that this movie had from the first one was that this one is a lot lot funnier than the first one. The laughs kept on coming up until after the credits rolled. Hehe, I'm still laughing this one out 'till now.
