The indestructible hopped-up hitman Chev Chelios, played to the hilt once again by
Jason Statham, returns in Crank 2: High Voltage, picking up where the first film left off -- except this time, Chelios is chasing a Chinese gangster who hijacked his heart and substituted it with a mechanical one that needs to be jolted with an electric charge to stay pumping. The maverick directing/writing team of
Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor returns to inject more caffeinated craziness into Lionsgate's burgeoning action series, with
Amy Smart and
Dwight Yoakam set to reprise their roles from the original.
Efren Ramirez,
Bai Ling, Clifton Collins Jr., and
Corey Haim round out the cast. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
