3.5/5
"if you're 14 to 18, hopped up on hormones, fresh off your daily dose of Ritalin, and ready to have your short attention span verbally and visually assaulted, you'll be in for a toxic trip."

"Yes, it's supposed to be dreadful, but it turns out that "Crank: High Voltage" is genuinely insufferable...Surely something so gleefully disgusting shouldn't have to work this hard to make an impression."

"The chaotic onslaught of gruesomely violent and graphically sexual exploitation is so ugly and ceaseless this time that it eventually numbs, and then bores, the viewer."

"You're liable to watch the whole thing with an expression of bafflement on your face, surprised, delighted, and alarmed by what you're seeing."

2.5/4
"Brash, outrageously inane and chaotically crafty,
Crank 2: High Voltage
is unapologetic in its sheer penchant for graphic-induced ribaldry as its charismatic calling card."
Movie Eye

1/5
"Watching this movie is like trying to survive on Red Bull and Skittles. It might keep you up for a little bit, but before too long, you'll just want to throw up."
7M Pictures

"The constant escalation to [the filmmakers'] inventive insanity is so breathtaking, it's like a slap in the face to the tired hacks who make the glossy hidebound junk that passes for an action movie these days."

2/4
"Like its predecessor,
Crank: High Voltage
is speedball cinema, a pure narcotized rush of blistering action, odious stereotypes, and shock-for-shock's-sake nastiness."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
2/5
"William Blake may have once stated "The road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom" but I'm guessing that if he ever had the opportunity to see the "Crank" films, he might have had second thoughts about that."

Peter Sobczynski
2.5/4
"Both exhilarating and exhausting, it falls just short of a fever pitch."

Rob Humanick
3/10
"Adrenaline-propelled and outrageously offensive, it's a cinematic video game that's neither coherent nor credible."
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
7/10
"The directing and writing team of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have between them a boundless imagination, constantly topping one absurdly overstated moment with another, even more absurd."
