Consensus: It's a film about a guy injected with Speed... wait, there's no bus. It's a film about a guy who has to kick a bunch of squirmy butt to stay alive... wait, no snakes or planes here. But it is a film about doing lots of drugs and pulling lots of punches, and it entertains accordingly.

Reviews for Crank
Sure, Crank is totally ridiculous, unbelievable, exhausting, and pretty much just plain stupid, but that's what makes it fun.
03/24/07
Ranks among the most mindless action films ever made, but scores as a helluva video game.
03/01/07
The super-concentrated silt at the bottom of a chemistry experiment that has no possible purpose to it but to deliver whatever limited jolt of which it's capable.
02/08/07
Its freneticism ... futilely tries to cover up the ludicrousness of every decision made by its dim characters.
01/24/07
Assaults the senses tirelessly with wave after wave of momentum-building intensity, with Jason Statham enjoying his best role since The Transporter.

You might just want to catch a matinee or wait for the DVD. This is definitely not worth your 10 bucks.

Some of the directing touches are fun, but the Grand Theft Auto overdrive wears thin quick.

'D.O.A.' for the 'Grand Theft Auto' generation, 'Crank' is too scattershot to hone in on the cult masterpiece waiting within its brilliant exploitation premise.
09/29/06
It's a promising concept, but instead of expending effort on, say, a coherent script, the filmmakers lazily rely on cheap editing tricks and gleefully relentless sadism.

Top Critic Leave it alone, or leave your brain and pocket change at the gate, strap yourself in and just enjoy the ride.
09/23/06
Top Critic At times, Crank is loads of fun and threatens to enter that golden territory of so-bad-it's-good, but the violence grows far too ugly and is so unrelenting that it becomes tiresome.
09/23/06
Crank works overtime to be a disreputable bit of pulp fiction, and for the first half or so it's like inhaling the cinematic equivalent of the film's title.
