Crank

[grady]

Crank was a pretty good time in a purely guilty pleasure sense.

I can easily imagine the pitch idea for this film, just intense action all the time, even when it's not even intense. "We'll just move the camera around a lot and have tons of visual effects," thought the director out loud to the nodding agreements of the studio chief and agents in the room.

The film is just absurd, but that is where it's fun arises. It's just plain stupid. But it's far more enjoyable than either of the Transporters could ever have hoped to have been.

If this film is playing somewhere cheap, or minimal cost can be incurred upon oneself, see it. You'll have a good time. Alcohol and other substance may help increase the level of enjoyment for this videogame type film.
