Ridiculously, incomprehensibly, undeniably cool, brilliantly, passionately and hysterically original, Crank is pure cinema heaven - nearly ninety minutes of action and comedy for its own sake with none of the silly little plot or conceivability niggles inevitably dolled out in your average Michael Bay film. If Jason Statham earned a penny for every time he was The Man in Crank, he'd have riches enough to buy the world. An insane suggestion befitting this year's most insane and criminally fun movie.
Sounds fucking awesome.

Title: Re: The Official CRANK Discussion Thread
Post by: CajoleJuice on September 02, 2006, 01:08:51 AM: Just got back. It was damn fun. More than a few times the entire theater was laughing. The action wasn't as awesomely great as The Transporter (I haven't seen the second), but the tension and humor made it a great popcorn movie. The special effects were pretty bad at times though. You'll see what I'm talking about. :-\

Nevertheless, I give it a solid 7/10 if you go in expecting just a damn enjoyable movie.

Sums it up.

Really, just go see Shake. For what it tries to do, it just might be a 9/10. I don't know. It was definitely worth the money, that's all I know.

I do agree it was better than Snakes on a Plane. I gotta up my rating. What was I thinking? 7/10. Pfftt.
Title: Re: The Official CRANK Discussion Thread
Post by: G The Resurrected on September 03, 2006, 02:48:15 AM: Yeah it goes into the cult classic list of films like that cause its one of the best action popcorn flicks in years maybe even the past decade.
Title: Re: The Official CRANK Discussion Thread
Post by: CajoleJuice on September 03, 2006, 02:51:49 AM: I think it was the ending that stuck in my mind and affected my rating too much. I won't go into detail, but yea, the effects were really bad in it. And yea... since I can't spoiler tag I won't say anything else. The rest of the movie rocked though. I felt like it could've had more pure ass-kicking though.
Title: Re: The Official CRANK Discussion Thread
Post by: G The Resurrected on September 03, 2006, 02:59:14 AM: DO NOT READ SPOILERS

THE ENDING LEFT IT ALL OPEN IF YOU ASK ME. HE BLINKS BUT WE DONT KNOW IF HE"S DEAD NOW HE COULD HAVE SOMETHING EVEN MORE CRAZY IN HIM SINCE HE GOT A SECOND DOSE.

Post by: CajoleJuice on September 03, 2006, 03:09:33 AM: I was just really talking about the special effects for the fall and how long the fall actually took. That helicopter had to be like 35,000 feet in the air. It looked really fucking terrible when he landed too...usually I'm not that big of a stickler but christ, it looked horrendous. And that was the end of the film that stuck in my mind. :-\

I forgot to add "pt" after the number in the code. I'm distinguished mentally-challenged.

Title: Re: The Official CRANK Discussion Thread
Post by: BlueTsunami on September 04, 2006, 05:20:04 PM: This movie was SO awesome. It was action packed from start to finish with some breaks in between but then back to action. Jason Statham was awesome, Amy Smart (his girlfriend) was freakin hot and the whole supporting cast ruled.

This movie is essentially GTA in movie form. Drugs, Car Jacking, Gun Fights, Gangs, Hilarious dialog and funny/memorable characters. I wasn't really expecting to much of this movie and came out surprised. I give it 9/10.
