Description:
A professional hit man (Jason Statham) is poisoned and has only hours to live. He has some big tasks to accomplish before the grim reaper arrives.
Amazon.com:
Action anti-hero Jason Statham is competing with himself to make the most relentless, non-stop action flick imaginable. In Crank, Statham stars as a hit man named Chev Chelios who's been poisoned by some Chinese toxin; the only way to stave it off is to keep his adrenalin flowing, which requires him to drive at top speeds through crowded traffic, start fights in bars, and run pell-mell down hospital corridors while wearing one of those humiliating smocks that tie in the back. In other words, Crank is high-end pop-trash, filled with many preposterous/ingenious stunts and over-the-top performances (Dwight Yoakam, Sling Blade, is downright droll as a doctor offering Chev assistance), marred by an unpleasant attitude towards women (Amy Smart, Outside Providence, will not look back on this as one of her signature roles). This is a movie for the audience who enjoyed Transporter and Transporter 2 but wanted Statham's perpetual scowl to become a kind of theatrical mask, a perpetual signifier of intensity that begs--nay, demands--that everything around it rise to a mutual level of absurdity. Fans of Luc Besson (Leon/The Professional, District 13) will find Crank to be simpatico. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Fully Charged
In a frantic/frenetic search for an adrenaline high to counter the effects of a deadly poison administered by a dangerous gangster, Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) aggressively searches for excitement in a variety of activities which include driving a highly muscled large car through a crowded shopping mall, riding a motorcycle in a manner that would have impressed Evel Knievel, and engaging in a very public display of affection for a most beautiful woman. There are also vigorous foot chases, hand-to ... Read More
Rating:  - Under average for sure
Really bad acting.
Poor story.
Bad musically.
Unprofesional making.
Lot of clichés
"I want to make a film as Tarantino". But certenly unsuccesful.
Don't buy it for sure, rent it just if you're sooo boring

This Was An Awsome Movie. Jason Statham Really Out Done Himself In This Great Movie. This Was Full Of Action From Begining To End. This Movie Was Great.
Rating: - A real blast!
Jason Statham is on top form here. This is great entertainment, full of surprises, great (& some very funny) scenes as well as a lot of surprising ideas, for when Statham's hitman has to keep his pulse well up to prevent himself from dying of poison.
A surprisingly enjoyable film - top stuff!
Rating: - Kill Bill meets Speed
I had no idea what to expect from this movie. My husband had seen reviews, but all I knew was that it had Jason Statham in it--which is an excellent selling point.
From the very beginning, it was a bit "artsy." Quick cuts, odd camera angles, speeding up, slowing down. Sometimes this works, sometimes it's just annoying. This time, it worked.
Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) is an assassin, and his rival has injected him with a poison. The only thing keeping him alive is keeping ... Read More
