Review of Crank (2006) by Nick J — 19 Dec 2011
I hold true to my last statements i've made about Statham - he's an AWESOME action guy, and this movie proves it! I'm a sucker for it, what can I say? Even though the plot's very eerily similar to the transporter 3, it's still a good movie. The only difference with this movie is that he's poisoned - unlike the transporter 3, where he's got this...thing around his neck that'll explode him. But, the action is this movie is so much better than the 3rd installment in the Transporter series!
There's a bunch of camera effects that the directors aimed for - as well as some neat CGI effects, mixed in with some random stuff that makes it more entertaining.
The plot's weak - but, the jist of it is that he's gotta keep his adrenaline up to a certain point, to stop the poison from killing him. And, that makes it kind of...unique, I guess you could say. Hey now! When you're having sex with a character of Amy Smart's in the street, you know you're having a good day! Kinda wish I was Jason there, that lucky bastard lol.
Jason is brilliant in this movie, as he is with all his roles. He just brings that charisma to the roles he plays.
Not only action in this film, there are a BUNCH of comedic moments where ya burst out laughing.
I'm glad I added this movie to my collection - and, most guys prob'ly should, too :D.
