I went to see Crank last night. It was very violent even more than I expected. Overall a entertaining movie. The true star here is Amy Smart. She looks incrddible. She is dressed very sexy in the movie and theres a somewhat graphic scene. Shes worth the price of the ticket if you ask me. J.H.

Wasn't this movie already made with Jason Statham...? You know he is injected with a poison and will die if he does not get the antidote....yes...it was called Transporter 2. That Kate Nauta was so hot in that movie.

Did we see the same movie? Sure, she was hot, but her role was very minor. Jason was the true star of the movie. Based on the previews this may sound similar to Transporter 2, but the plots are completely different. He showed great range and really projected someone who was steadily being driven insane over the course of the movie.

When the movie started, I was afraid it was going to be like Bourne Supremacy which made me almost nauseous with the endless fast cuts and handheld camera work. But this movie never had that effect on me.

This movie was refreshing different from what I was expecting. I give it a strong thumbs up.

She did have a minor part but it was such a good part. This movie is completely different than the Transporter 2. Not even close to the same movie. This movie was very violent in a bloody way.Transporter 2 was bl;oody at all. Plus Jason Statham is not a real good guy in this as he was in the Transporter movies. Just my take on that . J.H.

Saw this last night. If your looking for a story forget about it. It's straight up action w/ a bit of an explanation in the beginning. A thumbs up for me. If you guys liked this; check out "The Protector" w/ Tony Jaa. It's out this month and District B13 on DVD this Tuesday. Both mindless w/ great action sequences, also.

The trailers make this look like a possible Transporter 3....

Jason Statham is cool on screen. I like him. In this film he's good, but the film itself is really just one big long ZAP LETS GO NUTS kind of deal in the MTV style "young people" love today. I kind of enjoyed it, but it gave me a headache.

Probably a rental for most.

By the way, this thing is truly R rated. That made it bareable. Had it been PG-13 it would have had nothing to offer.

Didn't you see The Butterfly Effect? She was prominent in that. She is a real cutie, but TBE did bring out how poor her complexion is.

TBE = The Butterfly Effect. Very good movie if you haven't seen it. Critics hated it, but the public liked it.

Yeah I saw it and it was interesting and intense but I am just Ashton Kutchered out! He is way over exposed and getting just a little annoying. He has a new movie with Kevin Costner about the US Cost Guard and it looks good except Ashton turns me off now. The movie looks good though so maybe i will see it anyway plus I like Kevin Costner.

I have to give Crank a thumbs up for not going with a safe ending.
And I just rented District B13. Enjoyable, mindless fun.

I love Jason Statham, but I was a bit embarassed for him in this movie -- repeatedly having to flash his ass in the hospital gown and having a public sex scene. The movie was like a live action cartoon on speed.

I found Amy Smart's character rather annoying. I'm not a guy, so I don't care how she looked.

Well, Road Trip would be another option for you.

I didn't know who she was either.
Looks like she was also Carmen Electra's friend in Starsky & Hutch:

I second Mrhan... Road Trip is definitely worth a look if you're an Amy Smart fan.

This movie could've been something else, but the overstylization (word?) killed it for me. It was worse than a Tony Scott movie.

Have to agree. I loved the ending.

Usually if I can tell if a movie will suck (for me) within the first few minutes. This was definitely an uh-oh at first but it took off about a third way through and ended up being an absolutely entertaining flick. Partly as other have said because it didn't play it safe at ALL.

I got about 15-20 minutes into this, then watched another 20 minutes or so on FF, then turned it off...

Amy Smart was adorable in Crank. I completely agree with the OP!
Jason was good too, very cool, and he can carry a movie.

But Amy Smart was about as sweet as any girl ever filmed. When Jason did something wrong, she would just roll her eyes, and then go back to being her lovable self. I had a girlfriend like that once ... they are hard to find!.

Mindless popcorn movie, but very well executed, carried by 2 very cool actors.
Very R rated ...

This is definitely a movie where you love it or hate it. I admit it very stylized and over the top but I enjoyed the ride.
