Summary
Hitman Chev Chelios survives a fall from the previous film only to wake up and discover his nearly indestructible heart has been surgically replaced with a battery-powered artificial one. Hunting the Chinese gangsters who stole his original organ, Chev must keep jolting himself with electricity to stay alive as he tears through Los Angeles in a frantic race against time.
Crank: High Voltage is a 2009 action and thriller film.
The calibrated figure is built from 219 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 223 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 5,911 of whom clear the calibration test. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s films — 7,847 of them.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Crank: High Voltage lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 219.
