The film "Adrenaline 2", the actors of which gave all the best on the set , is an excellent continuation of the popular comedy action movie. This is a very extraordinary project, characterized by specific humor and powerful presentation.
Plot
The plot of the film continues the story of the first film, which was shot in 2006. The sequel was released 3 years later, in 2009. The actors in the movie "Adrenaline 2" are mostly different, as many new characters appeared, but the key characters were retained and the same people played their roles.
In the center of the story is again the legendary Chev Chelios. This time the main character is looking for his heart, which was taken away to sell. Instead of a living organ, an electronic device was installed that imitated its work. This operation was performed so that Chelios was alive while other organs were taken from him. But Chev woke up during the operation, easily scattered the guards and left this unfortunate place.
Now he is faced with the task of regaining his heart and not dying at the same time. After all, an implant inserted instead of it is designed for a short time. In order for the battery to continue to work, the main character has to constantly recharge it with electricity.
Characters and actors of the movie "Adrenaline 2: High Voltage"
The main character of the picture is Chev Chelios, a well-known on the first tape, a loose guy who has outstanding fighting abilities. Another, no less interesting character is Dr. Miles. He was played by Dwight Yokam.
Also, the actress Amy Smart, who played Yves, and Efren Ramirez, who got the role of Venus, took part in the film. Both actresses did a good job.
The film "Adrenaline 2", the actors and roles in which are optimally selected, can not be called a thoughtful tape. The project is a youth action movie with comedic elements, where the realities of our world are too hyperbolized and exaggerated. Some situations and actions are so absurd that they cause bewilderment.
Action "Adrenaline 2": actors and budget
Despite the star cast and inimitable Jason Status in the title role, the film was rather coldly received by the public, which greatly affected its box office success. With a budget of films of $ 20 million, it was possible to collect only 35 million at the global box office, which, when accounting for marketing costs, barely beats all costs.
For example, the first tape with a smaller budget (12 million) raised almost $ 10 million more.
Of course, it is impossible to talk about complete failure, but the sequels were no longer filmed. Moreover, the audience reviews were disappointing. Professional film critics spoke very unflattering about the picture.
By the way, Jason Statham himself did not express much desire to star in the sequels of this franchise, since even then he was a popular and sought-after actor in Hollywood, and “Adrenaline 2” to the actor brought neither high fees nor growth of interest in him. On the contrary, this is far from his best role.
Interesting Facts
There are a lot of interesting facts connected with this film. For example, in Belarus it was banned from broadcast on cinema wide screens due to the abundance of cruelty and dirty humor. This is not surprising, because only the abusive word fuck is pronounced 164 times in the film, which speaks for itself.
Another entertaining fact is the presence of the cameo of the famous musician and vocalist of the band Linkin Park (LP), now deceased Chester Bennington. He appeared in both parts of the film in a cameo role. At the same time, in the first tape, he recommends Cheva a purchase at the pharmacy, and in the second, he expresses his displeasure with the fact that Chelios is trying to rub against him in order to frictionally recharge his “motor”, which is in his place of the heart.
Also an interesting fact related to the LP group is the sound of their musical composition Given Up in the movie trailer, but its absence in the blockbuster itself.
Film crew
In the film "Adrenaline 2: High Voltage", the actors worked well on the roles, but, like in any other film, not all the success of the film depends on them. Most of the work is carried out by the director, cameraman, screenwriter and, of course, the producer.
And if the actors coped with their tasks, then the rest showed themselves not by virtue of their capabilities. The directing in the film is also at a good level, but critics defeated the project for excessively cruel and dirty humor, as well as for a base script.
The mistake was also made by marketers and producers who were not able to competently organize the promo, because of which it was a failure at the box office.
The combination of a weak script, bad humor and an unsuccessful PR program led to the fact that the project was unsuccessful. Sales on DVD and TV channels, too, could not recapture the cost of production, so the franchise was closed.
Voice acting
In the Russian dubbing "Adrenaline 2" of actors voiced by professionals. So, Jason State spoke in the voice of Vladimir Zaitsev, who is an experienced and famous dubbing actor in Russia. He worked on films such as The Expendables, Fast and the Furious 7, and many others. He is the official voice of the Hollywood actor D. State, therefore, in all the films where he participates, Zaitsev voices his characters.
Amy Smart was voiced by Polina Shcherbakova, who also worked on such films as: “Fantastic creatures and where they live” in 2016 and “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017). In general, her track record has 182 films, including a large number of well-known foreign film works.
Dr. Miles (D. Yokam) was voiced by Vladimir Gerasimov. He has accounted for more than 350 films, including many world famous blockbusters and films, including La La Land (2016), Voice of the Streets (2015) and many others.
Actress Bai Lin, who played Riya, was voiced by Ramil Iskander, who also has more than 200 films in her professional piggy bank. Moreover, she was engaged in the dubbing of such large-scale blockbusters as: “Luck of Logan” (2017), “Wonder Woman” (2017) and “Star Trek: Infinity” (2016).
The film was also voiced by many other actors who became the voices of minor characters.
Conclusion
The film "Crank 2" (photos of the actors posted in the article) can not be called an outstanding or successful comedy thriller, but he has his own style that distinguishes this tape from the crowd. Perhaps if the advertising program was organized more competently, then the project could be successful.
The role of Cheva Chelios is not the most prominent on the State’s track record, but certainly quite noticeable. This is an ambiguous character, which seems to be positive, but at the same time behaves too vulgar and cruel. He is more likely an antihero than a villain, but he cannot be called a good, positive character.
The picture did not bring obvious advantages to Jason's career, but it was an interesting experience that added an unusual, extravagant role to his piggy bank. Therefore, the film is still worthy of attention, although there are not enough stars from the sky.
