In Crank: High Voltage, Statham just looks miserable, as if appearing in this lousy picture just sucked all the heart right out of him.
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Rotten
Crank: High Voltage, starring Jason Statham as a man with a machine instead of a heart, is boorish, bigoted and borderline pornographic.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Fresh
Tasteless, trashy and totally over the top, Crank: High Voltage might also be one of the year's most inventive movies. Sometimes, nothing exceeds like excess.
Jason Anderson, Toronto Star
Rotten
The movie feels like a form of aversion therapy designed to take the fun out of dumb.
