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.

For those who seen Crank and haven’t seen High Voltage yet, you’re in for a real treat.  If you think that Chelios and Eve were nasty during the first one, then you’ll be surprised how they upped their performance for the sequel.  Let’s just say that it involved horses, cowboy, and a wheelbarrow.

Doc Miles (Dwight Yoakam):  Confucius say, “Karma’s a bitch”.

Chelios survived the Chinese poison and falling from a helicopter, so it’s not a surprise that he can stay alive walking around, beating up bad guys without a heart.  He needs High Voltage to stay alive and hunt down the guy who has his heart.

Crank: High Voltage has everything a guy would want from a movie.  It was hilarious, with gory action scenes, and even paid homage to Japanese monster movies.  Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Geri Halliwell had cameos in the movie.  Kudos to Jason Statham for doing the sequel and hopefully there’s a third one in the near future.

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.

*Spoiler*
Ben (Kiefer Sutherland) walks out of the building only to see mirror images of everything. It ends with Ben not able to see his own reflection. Then his handprint appears on the mirror. It means that Ben died and is now trapped behind mirrors.
