Crank 2 is a great example of an action movie that tries to do way too much. I have no idea what directors Neveldine and Taylor were thinking, but this is a horrible follow-up to Crank, which is one of my favorite movies and I have seen several times. Crank was excessively violent, as well, but the violence, served a purpose, and it was always entertaining, fresh, funny, slick and overall, a tour-de-fource amazing action movie. Crank 2 is dull, boring, over-the-top, not funny, excessively gory and disgusting. The acting is almost on the same level of Crank, not amazing but not horrible either, but its flaws are more evident in this film as the screenplay is much more problematic here than in the first movie (crank 1)., but neither film thrives on its acting. Meanwhile, the style, which it is shot, is not bad, as was Crank, but again, the style is not the problem here, it's the overall approach to the project, the incorporation of excessive violence, ridiculous plot lines (this is a horrible screenplay, the one-liners are so bad, its comedic). Overall, I just did not enjoy this film at all, and apart from having a decent score, and cinematography, there's little I liked about this Statham flick, they just shouldn't have made this movie. 4/10
