HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE CRANK FROM DVDTALK

The Movie

Geared towards the latent 13-year-old in every male, Crank doesn't unfold so much as it explodes off the screen, careening from one scene to the next, bursting forth in barely 90 minutes. Sturdy action everyman Jason Statham is the anchor which keeps Crank from sailing off into B-movie crapdom; call Crank brainless, sexist and more than a little callow, but you can't say it's not a hell of a lot of mindless fun -- bouncing in and out of multiplexes in summer 2006, this restless slam-bang actioner arrives on DVD to annihilate the winter doldrums.

Directed and written by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (both of whom make their directorial/screenwriting debuts here), Crank is an exercise in overblown simplicity -- the goofily named assassin Chev Chelios (Statham) awakens in his apartment, having just been poisoned by his rival Verona (Jose Pablo Cantillo) with a malicious dose of some mysterious drug known as "the Beijing cocktail." With blurred vision, leaden movement and a weak feeling, Chev learns he's got little time left before "the Beijing cocktail" renders him dead, his heart stopped by the lethal mixture. His black market doctor, Miles (a wonderfully loose Dwight Yoakam), prescribes no end of drugs, deeds and deadlines for Chev -- from shocking himself with a crash cart to injecting heavy doses of epinephrine, the dying assassin flits from one source of adrenaline to another, keeping his heart rate up in an effort to prolong his life.

You can see where Crank involves a hefty suspension of disbelief (the apex - or nadir, depending on your point of view - has to be when Chev indulges in a little public indecency with his brainless girlfriend Eve, a role which Amy Smart might regret having taken in a few years' time), but once you've accepted that Neveldine and Taylor aren't interested in a weighty exploration of life and death, but rather cramming as much action into an impossibly tight frame as humanly possible, you're in for one blisteringly fun ride. Devoid of any truly jaw-dropping sequences, save possibly for the maniacally over-the-top finale, Crank is all about forward momentum, keeping things popping and ratcheting up the delirium almost to the breaking point. It's the kind of flick that finds our hero on the receiving end of a blow-job while firing endless rounds of ammo out the back of a destroyed car during a high-speed chase; if that sentence doesn't rouse the latent teenager in you, then you should probably pass this movie by.

It's no accident that Crank's title screen looks like a vintage video game -- logic and common sense are out the window before the movie hits the 10-minute mark; if you hop on board, you're guaranteed one of the more deranged mainstream action-thrillers to come down the pike in some time. Brainless, bloody and borderline idiotic, Crank will still leave you dazed and amused.
