Synopsis

A one-time freelance hitman who was just attempting to turn his life around is forced to keep his heart pumping when his vengeful former employers inject him with a lethal poison that will permanently stop his ticker if his pulse sinks beneath an active rate in a non-stop urban action extravaganza starring Jason Statham and Amy Smart. Chev Chelios (Statham) was one of the most skilled assassins in the West Coast crime syndicate. When he hung up his guns in the middle of a job to run off with his new girlfriend Eve (Smart), however, the man who was once the hunter now becomes the hunted. Awakened from his slumber by a telephone call informing him of his precarious situation, Chelios soon discovers that the only way to save Eve from certain death at the hands of his nemesis is to stay two steps ahead of his killers, keep his heart-rate high enough to stay alive, and blast through the streets of Los Angeles in search of an antidote.

What Critics Say

The question isn’t whether Jason Statham knows how to Crank things up. The question is whether or not you’re willing to go with him on yet another highly implausible, blood-soaked, adrenaline-pumped ride. Heck, yeah!

'Crank 2' Trailer = NSFW
Crank 2: High Voltage takes red band to a whole new level with this f-word riddled, titillating trailer. Think the original Crank, with more sex, drugs, blood, cursing and Amy Smart factored in.

Larry King Still Cranking
HOLLYWOOD, May 22, 2000 -- Time for Larry King to stop making babies. Because he's 66? No. Because when he goes on paternity leave, we get Kathie Lee Gifford sitting in on his CNN show. Yes, this is the price we pay for Larry's virility: King is off the air tonight (and guest-host Kathie Lee is on it), because he's celebrating his son, Cannon Armstrong, born today in Los Angeles.

Cannon is King's second child by Wife No. 7, Shawn Southwick, 40. The couple wed in 1997 and have an older boy, Chance, who was born in March 1999.
