Review of Crank (2006) by Mattb — 08 Dec 2006

If you can accept the premise - this guy needs to keep his adrenaline high to stay alive long enough to avenge his own death - and just run with it, then you'll love this movie. It is a comedy with off-beat, understated, British humor.

And it is loaded with action. What I liked most was its originality in places, particularly the ending. The scene in the chinese market was laugh out loud funny. Stratham was a good lead with great support from Amy Smart.

The writers of this film had real fun with their character, putting him in outrageous but just plausible situations for him to fight his way out of. I loved every minute of the film, especially its final few minutes.
