    Rated - 5 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Adrenaline packed action

    On paper this film sounds rediculous but somehow it just works........actually it kicks ass!!!

    Jason Stratham is great at what he does, a 21st century action hero, who is menacing but funny with it!!!

    Crank does exactly what it says on the tin, a relentless, adrenaline packed movie where the action doesn't let up for a full 90 minutes, so don't be expecting an oscar worthy drama because that it ain't.

    Very erratic editing and jumpy shooting add to the whole effect and keeps you transfixed as the lead manages to come up with increasingly inventive methods of keeping his ticker going!!!

    I can fully understand why this film got the great reviews it did, because it never claims to be something its not.

    Sit on the edge of your seat an enjoy 90 minutes of total escapism!!!

    Ok

    I tend to agree with the majority of the reviews - not that impressed.

    Same old story re-done, with same actors, stunts and action - blah blah - could do better.

    • 16 Apr 2009

    Actress Amy Smart had such fun preparing to play a pole dancer in Crank sequel High Voltage, she has pledged to keep up her striptease lessons for her boyfriend. The star took a series of classes, found her perfect tune and then learned how to strip and tease at fellow actress Sheila Kelly's S Factor studio in Los Angeles - and now she's hooked. She tells WENN, "It was sexually liberating and really fun. It takes a lot of work to make it look easy. It's really awkward in the beginning but I... Read more
