Crank (DVD) Reviews

I had heard big things about this film and loved the trailer so when I saw this cheap in Asda the other day at around the £4 mark, I decided to get it being a big fan of Statham. I must say that anyone expecting anything like the Transporter films may be a little disappointed as the production here is nowhere near as tight but for an ...  Read the complete review

When I first decided to rent this movie I had no idea what to expect. I definitely wasn't expecting it to be as GREAT as it was. This movie had me sitting at the edge of my seat. This movie got my own adrenaline pumping. This movie, starring Jason Statham as the main character Chev Chelios, is about a hitman who is injected ...  Read the complete review

This movie is one adrenaline packed action sequence after another. Pun intended. This movie is not for everyone, I personally liked it. Sure it was completely unbelievable at times, but entertaining none the less. The visual imagery of the movie was quite interesting. You will either like the movie or completely hate it. ...  Read the complete review

The hit-man Chev Chelios is poisoned by Verona and his gang, he has been poisoned with a special formula that means he has to keep his adrenaline up or he will die if it goes too low. He meets up with his sexy girlfriend Eve to track down and kill Verona. A great movie with exciting and action packed moments, this man Chev ...  Read the complete review

Just as action hero Clive Owen couldn't resist taking one at himself for failing to secure the Bond tuxedo with the excellent 'Shoot Em Up', Jason Statham has followed suit with Crank. Our Jase is an acquired taste these days and a product of the National Lottery Heritage Fun misspent youth, the Film Council helping to fund an abnormal ...  Read the complete review

I initially rented this DVD as I was quite a bit fan of Jason Statham and I'm still not quite sure if the film was any good or not. The basic plot of the film revolves around "Chev Chelios" (Jason Statham), a Cockney hit man, in America, who has "Chinese" poison injected into his veins which means that he ...  Read the complete review

Suprisingly good movie, the plot is quite normal but its the directing and acting that makes the film stand out, as the synopis says A hit man (Statham) learns that a poison injected into his body will kill him if his heart rate drops slows a certain point. The film is hectic all the time statham is running around like a loon and ...  Read the complete review

I remember being quite sceptical going into The Transporter, Jason Statham’s first foray into the realm of the Action Movie. Up until this point, he had basically been the guy from Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels that went out with Kelly Brook, but as thoroughly ridiculous and stupid as it was, The Transporter won me over and I ...  Read the complete review

When watching a motion picture I like to differentiate between a film and a movie. For me a film is something that is worthy and can be seen somewhat as a piece of art. A movie is something more akin to a summer blockbuster that is there to entertain, not educate or enhance ones life. Over the years I have seen many bad films and many ...  Read the complete review

CRANK Freelance hitman Chev Chelios (Jason Statham) is in for a rather forgettable day. Waking up and feeling like a buffalo with a migraine would be fine if he’d been on the beers the night before. A couple of aspirin and a morning watching the Hollyoaks omnibus would soon put him right. Unfortunately for Chev, he’s awoken ...  Read the complete review

Crank is Jason Statham sticking to the familiar character we are used to seeing him play, following on from the massive European success of Transporter and Transporter 2 he exports pretty much the same character to the American mainland, or maybe they have cottoned on to his action man abilities and brought him over to them. Crank is the ...  Read the complete review

Since Jason Statham shot to fame in Lock Stock and Snatch I've always tried to see the films he's appeared in. This afternoon I sat down to watch his latest offering, Crank. It seemed to be the sort of action movie that I've quite enjoyed for those mindless days where I don't want anything too taxing. While I had noticed the film had ...  Read the complete review

The GREATEST FUN MOVE that I've ever seen. This movie was so fast and cool, that I think it left some people in the dust. It didn't take itself seriously, but the filmmakers must have been some serious dudes. The camera work was amazing, and Jason Statham should be winning awards, not some pretentious actor on the Actors Studio or ...  Read the complete review

After watching this film for the second time and reading the reviews I'm in complete disbelief that is was given such a bad write up on this site. Its not going to win block buster of the year, but its brilliant fun and offers entertainment straight from the start. I wasn't even expecting the humour! Brit hardman Statham provides a ...  Read the complete review

I am a fan of action movies and I thought Crank looked a pretty decent one and was quite glad when my Dad bought it. When Dad actually said my sister could have the DVD because it was rubbish that was a strange thing as he has never given us anything like that for free before. Anyway when my sister then said it was rubbish I started to ...  Read the complete review

Before I start my review on Crank Id just like to say everybody has their own taste in films, some like westerns or action movies or chick flicks etc. I didnt like this film I thought it was quite stupid and was glad it finished. On the other hand my partner loved it and thought it was funny, so ill write this review and you can decide ...  Read the complete review
