Crank - Kenji - 07-07-2007

Today I saw "Crank" in a theatre. If you REALLY like crazy, insane, wild character, and "The Transporter" is your fave, you should check this movie.

Jason Statham as Chev Chelios. He's professional killer. But he screwed up. His rival gang injected Chinese poison to him. His doctor says, "Only one way can save your life, it's adrenaline". So he run around! With his feet, with taxi, with motorbike. While he's running, he does many things. I don't say details any more. So check them out with your own eyes. Adrenaline will run faster in your body and it will raise your metabolism.

Also, this movie has some humor, so while you are gasping for breathe, trying to keep pace. You may find yourself laughing out loud at many points in this movie. Big Grin

I absolutlely hated this movie! I thought the idea sounded so good, and I was really looking forward to watching it. I was really disappointed by it, and then one scene in particular struck me as being quite offensive and I now take a very dim view of the entire film.

I expressed this opinion and mentioned the scene I didnt like in the IMDb discussion board for this film, and got fairly roundly jumped on by everyone who visited the board.

I much preferred the Transporter movies.

I liked the first one, except the ending was kind of abrupt. But I liked it.

I liked the second one, too -- even though it was a bit over the top. But how can I like the last Diehard movie and not like the last Transporter movie? I like them both.

But I don't know if Statham will ever find another role that fits him so well.
