Movie Assessment – Crank: High Voltage – Disquieting 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 chronicle starts out with the hero being thrown out of a helicopter. The colossal clunk 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 overflowing with dubious characters. Next thing we know, our hero is lying in a make shift hospice, and being operated on by a physician with a cigarette hanging out of his lips.
He wakes up, and uncovers that his heart has been replaced by a mechanical heart. We find out that our central character has an extraordinarily muscular heart, and it has been stolen to be entrenched into the leader of a acknowledged criminal posse somewhere in Southern California. So our protagonist has to not only find his unique heart, but he also has to find someone to replace it out with the electrical one that has been fixed into him.
There’s only one problem. His electrical, transient heart runs off of an exterior battery that gets smashed somehow. So he must continuously give himself electrical shocks to keep his short-term heart from giving out on him. This makes for an appealing chase across the wilderness of southern California, as he battles gangsters from all walks of life.
All the way through the entire journey to find his initial heart, he is in unvarying contact with a pal of his, who happens to be a skilled open heart medical doctor, although we learn he has had his medicinal license taken away due to some regrettable accident that unfolded with an ex girlfriend of his. But nevertheless, we trust that once our hero locates his first heart, his friend will be able to swap it out with the false one.
We have the decisive fight, which includes our central character, two adversary gangs, and a gangster’s head that is being kept energetic 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 combustion. Meanwhile, his accomplice productively finds his unique heart, and his pal, the dishonored heart surgeon, attempts to restore him to health. Will he succeed? The only way to find out is to hire this remarkable DVD, before it’s too late.
