Crank by Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor (2006, USA)



This movie would probably never worked without Jason Statham. He was really the only one for the role. He did all his own stunts and his acting was really on par. The same cannot be said for the rest of the cast but it really doesn't matter here, since this movie really is all about Jason Statham. There was a lot of energy from start to finish, though it kinda felt slow for a while in the middle, especially with the girlfriend part. At times, it felt like a video game movie or a glorified skateboard video of some sort, but I'm glad the movie never takes itself seriously, which makes it so much more enjoyable.

3.5/5 stars

My favorite film of the 2000's. Really. You're right - it doesn't take itself seriously, and is so seriously funny, fast, and awesome.
