Crank Review


Crank is an old-school action flick, a real non-stop roller coaster ride. It starts off with Chev Chelios finding out he�s been poisoned with the �Beijing Cocktail�, that slowly but surely drops your heart rate to zero, killing you. He�s told to keep moving and keep his adrenaline flowing to fight off the poison. In doing so, he becomes a one man wrecking crew, demolishing shopping malls, cars, hotels, you name it. He fights people hand to hand, blows stuff up and shoots plenty of bad guys.

�

One of the best things about the movie is the subtle humour in the background, like how most of the time he�s calmly talking on his cell phone while in the middle of a car chase, gunfight or something else. His time in the hospital, running around in a gown is hilarious. There is tons of dark humour and great one liners throughout the movie, and the plot is breakneck. Amy Smart does a pretty good job of playing the part of his ditzy girlfriend, who�s more concerned with turning off her waffle iron than escaping the bad guys. Her scene in Chinatown with Stratham is side-splitting, from her reaction to his request, to the Japanese students on the bus, to the appreciative crowd.

�

Essentially, it is like the Transporter movies, but with more adult content, from drug use to nudity to violence, and where the Transporter movies were kind of cheesy, Crank is over the top, a throwback to the violent films of the 80s like Terminator and Commando. �
