Crank

As action movies go this has to be one of the most insanely stupid I've come across in ages. Jason Stratham plays a hitman who has been knocked out and poisoned and is about to die...really fucking soon. Only adrenalin is keeping him alive as he sets out to avenge his soon to be death. This is a perfect excuse for Stratham to go all pissed off Londoner and bust shit loads of skulls, smash things up and swear one fuck of alot all presented in staccato edited style which will leave the viewer feeling like they are indeed "cranked" up on the same epinephrine flowing through Stratham character's veins. This off course is all great bloody fun and enjoyed this one right from the get go to the stunning finish...and I do not jest when I say stunning...it's a great ending. Country star, now more actor I think, Dwight Yoakam has a great bit part as Stratham's doctor and Amy Smart sure shows she has grown up quite a bit since her FELICITY days though I suppose her work on ROBOT CHICKEN might attest to that as well. Either way you slice it this is a Stratham showcase an it excels beyond your wildest dreams though I'm not so sure you would want to watch it whilst jacked on speed!~
