Amazon.com: Action anti-hero Jason Statham is competing with himself to make the most relentless, non-stop action flick imaginable. In Crank, Statham stars as a hit man named Chev Chelios who's been poisoned by some Chinese toxin; the only way to stave it off is to keep his adrenalin flowing, which requires him to drive at top speeds through crowded traffic, start fights in bars, and run pell-mell down hospital corridors while wearing one of those humiliating smocks that tie in the back. In other words, Crank is high-end pop-trash, filled with many preposterous/ingenious stunts and over-the-top performances (Dwight Yoakam, Sling Blade, is downright droll as a doctor offering Chev assistance), marred by an unpleasant attitude towards women (Amy Smart, Outside Providence, will not look back on this as one of her signature roles). This is a movie for the audience who enjoyed Transporter and Transporter 2 but wanted Statham's perpetual scowl to become a kind of theatrical mask, a perpetual signifier of intensity that begs--nay, demands--that everything around it rise to a mutual level of absurdity. Fans of Luc Besson (Leon/The Professional, District 13) will find Crank to be simpatico. --Bret Fetzer

Crank
This film dared to answer the question of whether or not an action film would work if it only had action. This movie doesn't have much dialogue and a very simplistic story. Instead it focuses on delivering literally non-stop action through the entire movie with almost no stopping.
The movie starts with Chev Chelios, your main character, watching a videotape revealing that he has been with injected with something and is going to die. In a fit of rage he begins his reign of terror. From that point on he begins his search for the men who poisoned him with what would become know through the movie as the Chinese ****. After a call to his doctor, Chev learns that the only way to slow his death is to keep his adrenaline flowing. If he slows down for anything he will begin to get dizzy and his vision will become distorted.
The movie is amazing to watch. There are tons of gunfights, fighting, ... Read More
Rating: - A ride into Crank
There are many ways to keep your adrenaline up; and Chev Chelios is going to need every one of them to stay alive... What they actually meant is that there are many excuses to do wacky things, and Chev Chelios have got the one to do all kinds of crap.
Now, this is not a mental movie. This is an outrageous ride through the last hours of life of an unlikely person, a professional hit man (and the unlikely events of such). Chev is not following any conventions, nor is he taking prisoners; once he hits the gas of his vehicle, the action starts and won't stop.
This is a quite fun movie to watch. Now, weather or not exists some Chinese synthetic poison, that thing sure delivers an excuse to somehow glue the unexplainable and/or ridiculous action sequences that happen thru LA. The direction was also quite refreshing: it was like the guy actually believed the story and tried to jump us into the adrenaline ... Read More
