I watched Crank: High Voltage while waiting to board my plane and I must say that the movie made time fly by so fast in a good way. If you enjoyed the first Crank then you’ll definitely love this one as well. Jason Statham is back as Chev Chelios.
Also back for the second time around are Dwight Yoakam as Doc Miles and Amy Smart as Eve Lydon. Efren Ramirez is also back but this time he’s playing the role of the brother of his Crank 1 character. If you haven’t seen the first Crank movie, I suggest that you watch that first before even thinking of seeing High Voltage. It will save you from being clueless about from the first movie.

Being a big fan of horror movies, my expectation is high for Mirrors after I saw its trailer. I thought it was cool for Kiefer Sutherland to make another horror film, his last and only being The Lost Boys. Except for one scene, there was no other hair-raising moment in the film.
It started as a horror movie, which is Mirrors’ first phase. The opening sequences fooled me into thinking that this is a decent horror movie, at least. But as the movie progresses, it turned into 24, with Jack Bauer looking for an Esseker.
That’s when the second phase of Mirrors begins. From that point the plot becomes predictable. I just don’t know why Ben (Sutherland) used his gun on an evil entity. How could the writer make the Ben stupid not to realize that bullets are useless when facing the devil?
As for the movie’s ending, let me say that even I was confused about it. Is he or is he not? Here’s an expert opinion on the matter at hand.
Dr. Morris: The patient then has the false perception of the existence of two distinct worlds. The real world, and the world inside a mirror.
Uhm, yeah… that. Thanks doc for the clarification. I must have imagined watching Mirrors when in reality it was just another 24 episode.
