CRANK

CRANK IS A MOVIE FOR JASON STATHAM FANS--- ONLY.
IF YOU ARE ASKING WHO JASON STATHAM IS, YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE THIS FILM UNTIL IT IS ON TELEVISION AND REALLY, NOT EVEN THEN.
A PROFESSIONAL KILLER IS INJECTED WITH A DRUG THAT WILL STOP HIS HEART IF HE IS NOT STIMULATED BY HIS ENVIRONMENT / ACTIVITIES TO KEEP HIS HEART PUMPING ABOVE THE NORMAL LEVEL.
HIS GOAL IS TO DESTROY THOSE WHO HAVE VIRTUALLY KILLED HIM, AS HE IS WALKING OR RUNNING AROUND, TO REVENGE HIS OWN FUTURE DEATH.
I LIKE THE PLOT -- SPEED ( THE BUS CAN'T STOP STORY ) MIXED WITH THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS.
AGAIN, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THESE TWO FILMS, AVOID CRANK.
THE MOST OUTSTANDING FEATURE OF THIS FILM, BEYOND THE GOOD ACTION SCENES, IS HOW STUPID JASON'S GIRLFRIEND IS. SHE IS DUMBER THAN THE DUMBEST BLONDE IN ANY JOKE. SHE IS SO STUPID, YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHY JASON IS WITH HER -- HER SWEETEST IS NOT ENOUGH TO OVER-RIDE HER IGNORANCE.
I HAVE TO SALUTE DWIGHT YOAKIM, THE FORMER COUNTRY WESTERN SINGER.YOU WILL REMEMBER HIM AS DOYLE, THE ABUSIVE BOYFRIEND IN -- SLING BLADE.
BILLY BOB THORNTON, KILLS HIM AT THE END OF THE FILM.
DWIGHT PLAYS A DOCTOR FRIEND OF JASON'S AND HIS CONCERN AND LACK OF CONCERN IS VERY POWERFUL -- IT IS LIKE, "I WILL TRY TO SAVE YOUR LIFE, BUT FIRST LET ME FINISH THIS BIG MAC AND FRIES." HIS BEDSIDE MANNER IS WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION -- IF THAT PRICE IS NOT MORE THAN THE SIX DOLLARS I PAID.
AGAIN, TRANSPORTER FANS, THIS IS NOT ON THE SAME LEVEL, BUT JASON IS ALWAYS INTERESTING, I ENJOYED IT FOR $6 ---- BUT IT WON'T BE MENTIONED AT THE ACADEMY AWARDS IN MARCH 2007.
