i must have seen a different film!!
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
"Crank" stars Jason Statham as a hit-man who gets poisoned with a liquid that will kill you if you don't have a high adrenaline level. Which means that he must do all kinds of crazy sh*t to be able to keep it high. As you can see this is the PERFECT setup for a fun action movie. You have the excuse to do whatever you want because it is to keep his adrenaline level high.Let me start with the direction and cinematography. The movie is shot in a so over- the-top way that it makes you feel like the character. Super close-ups and weird color grading selections. Everything makes you feel like if you are having an adrenaline rush which is exactly the point.The music also sets up the tone very quickly with high intensity rock and some old tunes from the 80's.There is some humour in the film, which I was not expecting. But it was a pleasant surprise since it was actually funny.Jason Statham gives a good performance as you might expect. He really is the only one who could pull off this character in the correct way.The production value of this movie is laughable. There are some things that look so fake that you have to laugh. Specially one in which he is falling. There are also some shots taken straight from google earth and they even leave the watermark on, its hilarious.Of course the script and character depth are sh*t but I was expecting that. I was just looking for a fun action movie with some guns and adrenaline inducing scenes and I got just that.
This movie is really really really stupid. And it knows that it's stupid. Thats exactly what i appreciate the most about Crank. It's mindless, dumb, entertaining action and it doesn't try to be more then that. It begins around the minute 2 which is absolutely amazing. It sounds like it's not much but it shows what the directors were going for. No 30-40 stupid plot bullshit before the real action starts. You're getting thrown into the movie and BAM! The action takes off. Something that should happen more often. If you try to make a reasonable explanation for killing thousands of people and do spectacular daredevil stunts you are likely going to fail. Just watch this movie and you know what to do. If you wanna make an action movie don't forget the most important part: The action. It's like porn. The story is expected but not all that important. So make it like Crank: Simple, self-explanatory, fast and quick. And tadaa! An action movie that isn't The Expendables 2-3.
This movie is unrealistic, but it has some new original ideas. It cannot be taken seriously, but it's not boring, it's entertaining and worth watching. Russians don't produce such movies.The moment when a killer tries to shoot his girl and she doesn't notice anything is funny and odd. Liked this moment.It looks sure like GTA series.People who like risk should like it. There are people who like risk and I am one of them.The main actor good fits the role. I think they could make a serious movie, which would have success.The script looks like amateur one, the direction and acting looks professional like we see in Hollywood films.
Another winner for Jason Stratham is "Crank", and really exciting thriller currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming. It is an action packed movie from 2006, and leaves one breathless with each ensuing scene. It is directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor and it is written by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. The stars include Jason Stratham, Amy Smart, and Carlos Sanz. The story is that of a hit man who has been poisoned by a Chinese drug that inhibits adrenalin and he has to keep his heart racing in order to stay alive. I gave it two thumbs up for its never ending action and thrilling ending. One should not miss this winning show.
