Staring Jason Statham (The Transporter, Lock Stock...), Amy Reid.
As per usual Statham (Chev) stars in a fast paced, action flick as a hitman. He's poisoned with some Chinese drug and can only stay alive if he keeps moving. Essentially he's got an hour to live.
Guns, fists, cars, car crashes and a hot bird (Amy Smart).
Saw this on a 9 hour flight yesterday so it probably enjoyed it more than if i was watching in a cinema. B+
*** minor spoiler ahead ***
He gets to give Amy Smart a good rogering over a letterbox in LA's Chinatown surrounded by throngs of asians who cheer him on.

This movie is one of the most pathetic movies I've ever seen. At least it doen't take itself seriously unlike other Statham shyt samwiches like The Transporter or Vin Diesel's XXX.
Awesome movie. Just awesome. Funny action packed. Its the total package. Everyone should see it.

Unless you're a 12 year old boy and into WWE, it's pathetic.
Think Transporter or XXX but even more stupid and outlandish. The only thing i'll give it is that it doesn't take itself seriously - it's almost intended to be a comedy.
Whilst watching Crank you sort of get the feeling that the makers are just taking the pi ss and trying to do the most outlandish things possible whilst pi ssing themselves laughing whilst with Transporter they seem to be seriously trying to make a good action flick.

Which is the greatness of it. Theres good action but they have also added some comedy into it and a good ending I reckon. The total package. Best film of last year I reckon :thumbsu:

Did you like Transporter, XXX, and are you a fan of WWE and Kid Rock?

Can you explain the WWE part ??I would have thought it self explanatory but for the benefit of the intellectually handicapped: everything I have named there is in the realm of 12 year old boys. Whoaaaaaar!

I went into the movie knowing what it was supposed to be a piss take with a bit of good action to boot. If you take it too seriously your not gonna enjoy it but if you dont then your gonna really like it

Pretty sure I've mentioned on a number of occasions that it doesn't take it seriously. And it still sucks balls.
