Review of Crank (2006) by Bob B — 11 Aug 2010
The most over the top action movie since the 80s and it's perfect. It knows exactly what it wants to do, has a great sense of humor and has one outrages plot device after another. The sharp and tinted film quality makes it look even more bizarre, matched with the dialogue and illogical scenarios.
Jason Statham does it all in this: cracks jokes, kills, punches, has sex in public, smashes, kicks and rules the city of LA. He also proves to be un-killable in the end. Now you might think that this would be nothing but a dumb action movie, but in no way is it dumb at all.
In fact, it's one of the few action movies to acknowledge the genre flaws and make them somehow awesome. It takes adrenaline to a new level.
