Stream it now Crank 2006

 

Crank is a rare movie. Rare because it knows EXACTLY what type of movie it wants to be, knows exactly who it was made for and does it with such style, epicness and craziness that it never fails to entertain.

Having said that many will watch this and hate it. Many will feel that 100% is outlandish. They are the ones who do not realise this movie is everything it was meant to be.

Starring Statham, the 00's Willis, this movie appeals to all those action fans that love their movies insane, hilarious and violent.

Heck it's dumb action by numbers but done incredibly well:

Ridiculously implausible story that is plain awesome: Check
Violence: Check
Demi-god protagonist: Check
Hilarious dialogue: Check
Doesn't take itself seriously: Check
Attractive 'damsel': Check
Requisite sex scene (every dumb action has one!): Check

Frankly if you don't like Statham's movies (and i don't mean his legit ones like Snatch and The Bank Job - i mean Death Race, etc :P) then you probably won't like this. However if you're a fan of a movie that is great to watch with pizza, a cold drink and some friends then this is it!

PS: Enjoy the great direction and homage to video games :)

I liked the 2nd movie a little more than this. But not by much. Jason is back in this new kick-butt movie only fit for his kind of acting. The only thing is, the action is very hard to see. It has some dry humor, not much though. Overall it's a boring movie.

Full of style, action, life and insanity, Crank leaves you begging for more throughout and after the movie.

Crank is a non-stop action movie starring Jason Statham as Chev Chelios and Amy Smart as Eve, his girlfriend. It's written and directed by both Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. I have to admit that I didn't expect a smart or a well-written action movie, I expected to be entertained. The movie is set in Los Angeles and he must hunt down Verona and kill him.

Chelios is a british hitman who is poisoned by the chinese mafia, and he must keep his adrenaline flowing in order to keep himself alive. He takes many different drugs, gets into fights with other gang members, and has public sex with his girlfriend.
Crank suffers from a paper thin plot and ridiculous set-pieces. In the car chase, Chelios drives into a mall, for no apparent reason and ends up in an escalator.
It may be a little bit

Crank brings adrenaline junkies together from special effects, gun fights, nudity, and laughs that bring out the best of Jason Statham.Now as a fan of his acting, (Death Race, Transporter series, Crank High Voltage)Jason Statham plays the role of pro hitman, Chev Chelios who after meeting the girls of his dreams(played by Amy Smart)gives up a hit in which he is then considered a traitor and instead of the usual beatdown and gun to the head, he is injected with a poison known as the Chinese cocktail in which his body systems will shut down and keep his heart from getting enough blood unless he keeps himself moving and alive with adrenaline.He gets this adrenaline from many things from driving into malls,gun fights, and having sex in Chinatown.Now to keep from hating this movie from being targeted by audiences as a terrible action movie"with weak storyline and characters", I advise you from taking those parts from being serious because purposeley, its not suppose to be a serious action movie!however I have to say the one flaw in this movie is there should add more and more to the adrenaline bursts he gets because really there werent alot if you conted the sex in Chinatown in fron of lots of people as adrenaline pumping!So, this film gets my moneys worth and is very heavy on all the things men like(drugs, women, etc.)and not to mention hilarious moments that will keep you wanting more!!!!

This movie is a fast action packed movie all while it has fun making fun of itself. I enjoyed it.

this is basically a film about doing drugs and kicking ass. its fast paced and at times funny, but its very illogical and the story is weak. it bothered me the way this film was directed, meaning the camerawork.

Amusing, silly and super-fast paced action romp. Great fun in a comic book violence kind of way.

High packed action but that's about it. story line pretty weak and ending it awful.

Entertainingly haphazard, Crank can't seem to make its mind up whether it's a video game, a comic book, a run of the mill comedy action thriller, or a serious but trippy action film. Statham seems to have a kind of charisma that makes him instantly watchable even in the most over the top scenes, and he's a good fit for the role, carrying the rest of the cast and the underwhelming script.
