    Watch it, it's good. It a very loud and jittery movie they way it's filmed. Kinda like the Bourne movies. I enjoyed it. I liked it more than Transporter 2.

    coolness. :) thanks for that.

    Jason Statham is almost tempting enough to make me watch a movie but thought a second opinion might be good.

    Transporter 2 wasn't as good as it could've been maybe.. but that chick Lola or what was her name.. she was kickass. :D

    Apparently Crank is sort of a farse.. a comedy which deliberately takes the piss out of the action movie premise. I've not seen it but sounds interesting from that perspective.

    "Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington has a cameo in the hospital scene, where he tells the protagonist about the epinephrine in the nasal spray."

    also:
    "Jason Statham did all of his own driving stunts"

    which I think is either admirable or fecking crazy!! possibly both. :D

    Awesome big dumb action movie. The adrenaline never stops pumping! And that's the plot too :D

    It is worth a watch.
    The Transporter was so bad I never bothered to see the second one.

    that was one good rumble. :D

    Was I right about the plot being so over the top as to be funny?

    whatever turns your crank...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I though it was good, a little stupid iat times but i thought that it would be going in. I have not seen any of the transporter movies though are they any good??

    well, I think most action movies seem a little stupid at times.. doesn't mean they're bad though. :)

    well, I personally liked both Transporters.. it's been a while since I last saw the first one though. and it's better than the second one methinks. still, both good rumbles. :D

    I love crank! great movie full of action, not much to the plot though, but it works in how the movie was done. Filmed in an old school Grand Theft Auto video game feel as well.

    I loved it, but if your'e looking for something with a deep meaning look elsewhere :)
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?
