June 11, 2011Crank is a self adreneline rush. Jason Statham is a freaking badass in every movie he does, and this might be his best to date. You feel like there is a story in this movie somewhere, but truly I didn't care, its never boring and always stays cool. The action was well done and... read more

April 26, 2011The most badass movie ever. I'm not gonna write a if review but I wanna say that this was a really great action movie with no stopping moments that any guy would love.

March 26, 2011fb732260458An unpretentious, uncensored and unforgiving assault on the senses (and morals) that you will either absolutely love - or loathe. I loved it.

November 29, 2010Crank the music up.... That's what he should have said...He should have used Zacks best line. No but I was a fun movie...And a lot of fun backstage making of facts...I though both Jason and Amy did good jobs

August 12, 2010The most over the top action movie since the 80s and it's perfect. It knows exactly what it wants to do, has a great sense of humor and has one outrages plot device after another. The sharp and tinted film quality makes it look even more bizarre, matched with the dialogue and ill... read more

August 6, 2010I love this movie. it's really badass. I recommend this to people who want to be entertained and have a lot of fun and less of a story and just a simple straight foward plot. A-

June 10, 2010Crank is an insane action film. Everything about the film is over the top. The film is very extreme in what it does, and by what I've heard it plays out like a B movie. Anyhow it does a terrific at delivering solid action with often hilarious consequences. The film has over the ... read more

April 28, 2010Dumb actioner that is okay for a while but devolves into idiocy and ridiculousness by the end.

January 24, 2010This film was given to me by a friend, and is not usually a genre I spend a lot of time with; but that being said, I took Crank at face value and enjoyed it.
It is so much a video game on steroids, but what's wrong with that?
The plot is simplistic, stay pumped to stay aliv... read more

Leave it alone, or leave your brain and pocket change at the gate, strap yourself in and just enjoy the ride. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
For those who enjoy this brand of wholly mindless entertainment, Crank delivers. Full Review

Nathan Lee, New York Times
Jason Stratham rampages through Los Angeles in this retread of Speed, but for a movie premised on unrelenting action, Crank proves fatally turgid.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
The movie is cranked up somewhere between stylish and proudly stupid. Full Review

Michael Ordoņa, Los Angeles Times
While Crank has its moments, the line stringing them together isn't wound taut enough. Full Review

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
It's an E-ticket ride. But in the end, there's no heart, no moral to this story. And for all our sweat as viewers, the one thing we crave by Crank's closing credits is detox. Full Review

Writer-directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor's previous work lies mainly in making commercials -- the quick-cutting aesthetic employed here. Full Review

It may stretch that hour a bit, but it doesn't waste a minute -- though it wastes everything else in its immediate vicinity. Your time as well? Not unless you don't have the stomach for wholesale prop... Full Review

Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter
A jacked-up, unapologetically mindless bit of ADD-prescribed escapism that more or less delivers on a nifty premise.
