I just got done screening this film for tomorrow. I did not see the first one and although there were several references to the first one, I did not feel lost, they provided enough back story throughout the movie (so don't worry if you haven't seen the first one). I love that it didn't try to be too serious (Loved the Godzilla spoof). There is an extreme amount of violence and language and copious nudity, but what else would you expect from an R rated action flick. This is an absolute must see for action fans!

excellent stunt scenes, interesting plot/story line, not a dull moment - a definite seer

hate-admitting i love mindless action

There are many, many people who simply don't get this movie. Which is hilarious in itself, because there is really nothing to get. The point is to just be as ridiculous and over the top as possible. It's supposed to be a brainless guy movie. And they do exactly that, which is why I give this a Must GO! Go into this movie thinking it's absolutely brainless, and a great comedy, and you will come out greatly satisfied.

crank: high voltage, however, most decidedly does not. it's one of the best action movies ever, and yet another great example of why jason statham is the action star for our age. we don't deserve his awesomeness but it's been given to us and therefore we should worship at his feet, for all the rest of our days.
