Chev Chelios (Jason Statham), a skilled hit man, is injected by a poison. Ricky Verona (Jose Pablo Cantillo), the person responsible, has a brother who is killed by Chelios. Doc Miles (Dwight Yoakam), the doctor of Chev, advises him that he needs adrenaline to keep alive. Chev informs his girlfriend Eve (Amy Smart) about his true identity. The stunts and camera direction were superb. Soundtrack made the flick enjoyable and Statham seemed to embrace the role. Crank is a high octane action flick to its truest sense that is highly entertaining despite some of the unbelievable sequences.

Little different twist on the standard action flick...and a hot guy...yeah. I'm in. It's a light, fun, amusing movie for those with a taste for that. The serious types will probably hate it for not being realistic...which completely misses the point of the movie. It's the guy version of Run Lola Run. |

If you can suspend your belief and embrace this as a mindless, but sometimes inventive action film, it kind of works. If not, you'll likely find this movie to be terrible. And it is, but terribly fun. |

A crazy, frantic, adrenaline fueled, fun action flick. It's the action movie that NEVER stops for one minute. That's what makes it so awesome. |

This is a video game masquerading as a movie. As long as you realize that, you'll have fun. It's all action, and none of it is really believable, but that's the point of video games anyway. This one just happens to be controlled for you. |

Don't Take It Too Seriously |
|
Crank is a movie that never entirely takes itself seriously, and that is the key reason it succeeds. If you go to watch it with a mindset to see a realistic, ground-breaking, or witty action movie, you will be disappointed. However, if you realize that it is not supposed to be any of those things, prepare to have one hell of a good time! Jason Statham plays a hitman who has been poisoned, requiring him to pump massive amounts of adrenaline into his system in order to survive long enough to exact revenge on his attackers. From start to finish, the movie is stuffed to the brim with guns, drugs, women, language, and violence, and it is hilariously awesome! A few well-thought-out jokes, such as our character reading the subtitles, words appearing on-screen, and others add some bit of smarter ... |
