After watching the first Crank on my direc tv, I decided to watch the sequel, which surpasses the first film in almost every way.
For starters, the film has soundtrack by the elusive Mike Patton, best know for his role in the band Faith No More. What you’ll get from Mr. Patton is an eclectic soundtrack that follows the fast-paced pattern of the film.
The first film ends with the protagonist falling out of a place. This film picks up right where the last one left off. From there, the protagonist much search for energy sources like electricity to inject into his heart. In one scene, he slams himself into a telephone pole of sorts where his heart receives so much adrenaline that he can move on to the next action set-piece.
If you are a fan of ridiculous action movies with stories that are absurb, but comical, than give this film a chance. I recommend viewers check out the first film so that they know why the events are unfolding. Best action series I’ve ever seen.
