There are parts of this that I truly hate, and there are parts that make me laugh. Overall it's a bit much for me, especially the chaotic camerawork.
Kudos to everyone involved though because I do think they made exactly what they set out to make, so mission accomplished, and they seem to have had a lot of fun. Also I do love Jason Statham. If they ever make Crank 3: Highest Voltage (maybe Maximum Voltage?), I will see it at the theater.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless, over-the-top adrenaline rush that treats its own logic as a joke, rapid-fire action and ultraviolent setpieces punctuated by deliberately absurd detours that never let you catch your breath.
