Crank
It’s a coarse and less sophisticated “Transporter” on speed. Chevy Chelios (Jason Statham) is a professional hit man who has been poisoned. With only one hour to live, he must rescue his girlfriend, find the antidote, and kill the bad guys. The movie has gory violence, a multitude of drugs, wild sex, and those f***ing words. It is a “you got to see it to believe it” kind of film and then, you’ll either love it or hate it. In the beginning, Alien was getting annoyed by the dizzying film edits, but as the movie became more tongue-in-cheek, it started to grow on Alien. It is a surprising and unique film experience with unexpected humor. It is not a true classic action thriller, but still it is a wild ride.
Alien gives it 2 ½ “hypo-injected adrenalin rush” stars out of 4.
