Adrenaline packed action
By balearicbayes (23 reviews) from Denny , 22 Mar 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
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!!!- Was this review helpful to you?

(663)The only movie that wasn't lying about it being a Non-stop rollercoaster ride
By a customer , 29 Mar 2013Statham apparently said in an interview 'An actor isn't exactly going to ever get nominated for an Oscar doing Crank' The thing is... Who cares about Oscars when you have something like Crank under your belt. (Literally) Non-stop over-the-top action and brutal humour.- Was this review helpful to you?

Clearly written by immature man
By FutureGal (6 reviews) from Cardiff , 14 Jul 2012The idea of a man having to keep his adrenalin levels up to stay alive intrigued me, but I soon found out why this plot exists. Something happens in the movie that I'm sure the writer would like to do in real life but would certainly not get the reaction that Statham gets in the film. I believe it is this event around which the whole premise for the film revolves. Very gratuitous and crass. If you like games like Grand Theft Auto, then you will love this.- Was this review helpful to you?

One for the lads
By GreenyRooster (1 review) , 20 Jan 2012Totally unapologetic about being all about the action if you just want a film to watch with your mates that you are all going to love this is it.
Any man who does not like this is a weasel- Was this review helpful to you?

7253rd person to think 4 stars is appropriate
By tominsptwo (73 reviews) from Wakefield , 14 Jan 2012Jason Statham, a brilliant actor that i love watching on the big screen, in another good film. it seems that another good story is told. the action is very good and subtle comedy adds to the film. if your a fan of the transporter you will love this film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Keep the ticker online
By Routemaster (87 reviews) from Cambridge , 05 Dec 2011Don't expect anything other than a typical Jason Statham movie! Whilst action packed, this is a non believable movie - which as long as you go in with that frame of mind, then you will enjoy it - don't expect an Oscar winning film!!
Hit man (Statham) has to keep his heart rate up following a him being injected with a lethal poison, whilst he takes his revenge on the people who injected him before he takes his last breath - the lead manages to come up with increasingly inventive methods of keeping his ticker going!!!- Was this review helpful to you?
