Certainly one of the worst films I've ever seen in my life. Jason Statham is terrible in this film and the film really delivers nothing good. Pile of crap basically so avoid CRANK.

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. I've seen amateur pornography with better writing and acting, and at least then I got to see more than a nipple slip. The fight scenes aren't even good.

This is one of the worst pieces of fecal matter I've had the misjudgement to inflict on myself. It might have some appeal to mentally defective 12-year old crack addicts but that's about it. An action movie needs more than just This is one of the worst pieces of fecal matter I've had the misjudgement to inflict on myself. It might have some appeal to mentally defective 12-year old crack addicts but that's about it. An action movie needs more than just non-stop action, it needs pacing, or the "action" becomes non-stop, bludgeoning tedium. I can't believe someone actually compared it to Die-Hard. Die-Hard had a talented director who knew how to orchestrate and pace. This movie is has only compulsive, empty freneticism. Maybe sociopathic computer game fanatics might appreciate it as well.… Expand

A collosal piece of crap. Jason Statham is starting to make me reconsider the genius of Chuck Norris. Strictly for the brain dead.

I usually stick movies out, but this one was just too bad. If you're a teen male or just like pure cheesy, then this is the movie for you. Otherwise, don't waste your time.

I can't believe that this movie actually got made. Sure the first drug-fuelled pitch to the producers would have been a fun night, but it must have gone quickly downhill from there.

A pile of garbage. One of the worst films of the year.

Mindless. Idiotic. I feel sorry for Amy Smart. Maybe she needs the money. The choppy undercranking just causes headaches. What trash.

I rented this a couple of weeks ago because I had usually enjoyed Jason Statham films. I thought it was awful. It looks so poorly created. The sex scenes are done so distastefully. It seems like a movie for the most immature of guys. It may I rented this a couple of weeks ago because I had usually enjoyed Jason Statham films. I thought it was awful. It looks so poorly created.

Too fast pace, doesn't explain things very well. Definitely, Jason Statham's worst. It's a real disappointment.… Expand

Obviously awful and disgusting if you are over 20 and/ or generally tend to use your brain. Obviously great if you are young, stoned, male, immature and have fallen for the modern "jackass generation" as i call it.

The plot seems to be not only written for, but quite possibly by, a 14-year-old. Everyone who loved this movie mentioned the same thing, "It's great if you want a movie where you don't have to think." OK, I agree. It's an awesome movie if you are, or can become at will, an idiot. If, however, you cannot ignore the fact that you understand even the slightest bit about physics, or law enforcement, or the martial arts, or Asian culture, or... then you are bound to see this movie for what it is: typical Hollywood crap.… Expand

From start to finish 'Crank' is a huge and messy joke that could have been told by a disruptive teenager to his closest troubled friends.

I could not resist to make aFrom start to finish 'Crank' is a huge and messy joke that could have been told by a disruptive teenager to his closest troubled friends. Writing a structured critic about such a poor movie is a total prowess. I could not resist to make a list of its numerous flaws...

Filming process and camera angles are twisted and drafty, colours (in addition to lighting, calibration and contrasts) are more than ugly, dialogues are dull and predictable, characters are not developped at all, fight scenes are terrible, 'bastard' is the closest word I found to describe the overall pace of this film, all characters must share a small group of neurons between them, the plot is based on adrenaline and the scenarists don't know anything about this hormone, Statham beats each and every characters without any difficulty, his body still works after all the crap he does and takes (including bullets), driving scenes can actually cause vomiting (and there are a lot of those), the editing is disgusting, every woman present in 'Crank' was hired to showcase her body, blood scenes are awful, the movie doesn't hide at all its marketing principles (and therefore shows a lot of advertising especially when the 'hero' enters shops), we can clearly see the use of green screens in many shots, bad guys are boring, overall acting is hardly decent, some scenes are iconic by their infinite stupidity, and it is a true miracle Statham's carrier didn't stop right after that release. Racism is the only flaw missing to qualify this movie of 'worst of human history'. 'Crank' isn't even agreable to watch while getting drunk and high with your dearest friends (unless if you aim at a major bad trip). Worst of it all : they shot a second movie three years later !

The one and only good point I found is that music is great. It still could have been a bit better if they didn't stop the good tracks too early every time.

According to me 'Crank' is definitely worst than Uwe Boll's movies. Stay away from it unless you have a lot of neurones to lose or if you want to experience hangover symptoms without any substance consumption.… Expand
