Finally Shaun and I broke our despressing streak of horrible movies, by going and seeing Crank. The storyline is pretty simple...a hitman has been poisoned by this crazy drug, it's cutting off his adrenaline, slowly killing him. He sets off to get revenge, but the only way he can stay alive is to keep his blood pumping...BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Intense action, lots of high speed action, and craziness ensues.
It was a great movie, extremely exciting and blood-pumping (which is appropriate). The music and camera work was top notch, and added a lot to the fast-paced, frenetic mood. I'd never seen Jason Statham in either Transporter movies, but after Crank I'm definitely a fan of his now. (edit: I downloaded the first Transporter movie and it's awesome too.)
The story was simple - it can literally be summarized in the tag phrase "If I stop, I die." - but sufficient enough. There are no huge twists or amazing plot revelations, but you'd be silly to expect The Usual Suspects here. I'm (in)famous for nitpicking plot holes and discrepancies, and I can honestly say I had none at the end of the movie. There were two scenes that were mildly confusing, but only for a few seconds, after which time there was probably a gunfight or extensive property damage to focus on.
I already mentioned the music and camera work, but it deserves mention again. A movie like this fast cuts, insane camera angles, and a certain cartoonish nature, and Crank hits it perfectly. Not to mention that one of Statham's survival methods is drugs of all sorts, so naturally the camera at times is spiralling crazily all over the place and flickering with all sorts of weird afterimages. Which is perfect. The music blends perfectly (as much as jarring, jagged music can realistically "blend") with the action onscreen, and between the happenings onscreen and the rapidfire songs, there's literally no downtime at all in the entire movie.
Overall? I'd definitely go see Crank again in theaters - it's that funny, fun and entertaining. It's fast-paced action that delivers constantly throughout the entire film. Great movie.
10/10!
IF YOU LIKED CRANK, YOU'D PROBABLY ALSO LIKE:
- The Transporter
- Speed (of course)
- Cowboy Bebop
