What Parents Need to Know
About Crank
Parents need to know that this movie is absolutely not for kids. It's designed to convey hectic, bloody, and relentless action. Violence includes shooting, needle jabbing, punching, kicking, stabbing, and falling. A couple has sex in public, upsetting and titillating a crowd on the street and in vehicles (skin not explicit, but act is rendered with heavy breathing and clothes-tearing). Scenes include bikinied and topless women, pole-dancers in thongs, and naked women encased in glass balls, apparently as decorations). A doctor's advice seems shady (he suggests smoking marijuana to calm down). Hero uses the n-word and other disparaging language to incite aggression and display his tough-guyness. Lots of profanity and drug use.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the effects of adrenaline: How does it distort judgment and behavior? How does the movie exaggerate action movie conventions, with regard to speed, style, and content? How does this exaggeration make fun of these conventions, or how does it reinforce the "video-gamey" effect of such films? How would you describe Chev's relationship with his girlfriend? Does he respect her? How well does she know him?

Wow
I bought this movie because i figured it would be alright but wow i was wrong.. Right from the opening of the movie all the way to the end its a nonstop relentless stream of bloody violence and constant strong language. It reminded me of Grand Thet Auto.

Alright Movie.
This movie isn't great...but it's definitely not meant to be seen by ANYBODY under 17. There's plenty of violence, nudity, and language. I currently want to see their review for Crank 2. I saw it and it was LOADS better than this one. But they'll probably say "No Kids".

The most offensive movie I have never seen
Crank is a high action adrenaline thrill-ride. But parents BEWARE. This is possibly the most offensive film I never seen. I didn't even get to finish it. I saw up to 27 minutes, but I fast forwarded through 25. Some of the parts I hadn't seen I watched on USA Network. But still there is excessive language, sexual content, nudity and a whole lot of violence to go with it. And the thing that suprised me was when I was watching it on USA Network. They actually aired the sex scene. Now during that scene there is no nudity. But they show the movement and you hear the sounds and it is still graphic. Many topless woman are scene throughout. I really like Jason Statham, He is one of my favoriate actors and I will admit I might have liked this film if it did not have all of what it did. Or even half of what it did. So parents please caution do not let your children watch this if they are under 17. 16 would be ok. Only if they are mature.

Crank keeps your adreneline going.
Crank is one of Jason Statham's best work, probably because it's an R rated ride that is not really for kids. Unlike Transporter 3 and others "Crsnk" has style and cool, even though i say this this isn't for everyone the movie is extremely violent and crude adult sex but if you think you're mature enough see it.

Best ADD movie I have seen ever.
As one could guess from my title,I think the best part of this movie is its randomness. One scene, Chev is surfing a motorcycle. The next, he is saving his girlfriend from other hitmen, while she has no idea she is being shot at. This movie could have been extremely bad, but ends up being one of the best popcorn/blow up everything in your way I have ever seen. It also cleverly integrates the soundtrack, translating Chev's thoughts into background noise. Finally, this movie has the best type of intro a movie could have. Chev wakes up, watches a DVD with swear words written on it left for him, and proceeds to completely destroy his thousand dollar TV. And the mayhem continues on from there.

This is the coolest movie ever!!!
The violence in this movie isn't very bad at all, but if you rent or buy the movie their's a special feature that cuts out every single bad word even the phrase "OH MY GOD" the only bad part if you watch it without the expletives is when Chev totally humps the hell out of his girlfriend. Watch this movie, Transporter, Transporter 2, Bank Job, and Italian Job you'll agree with me, Jason Statham is a hardcore, baddass dude!!!

Pretty good
This is a pretty good movie. The sex in it is nothing i havent seen before and there are only a couple scenes with nudity. The same thing with the violance I have seen worse. The only thing that is very bad in Crank is the language it is harsh but it looses it impact because it is used so much. I would not suggest anyone under 13 watching this.

iffy
I liked the movie but i probably shouldn't hav watched it. There was nothing at all in the movie i didnt already know about, but there is no way of telling if your kid does or not, so i wouldnt recomend it for kids under 13.

Great film but not for kids
I really like fast and violent films, but I would not let younger people watch this. It is horribly inappropriate in every catergory. This is what I like in a movie (stuff I cannot do for real) but like I said its better for the older kids (17 and up) to enjoy

Pulp Fiction on Overdrive
Crank is violent, fast paced, and completely ridiculous. Is it a great movie, no, but I don't think they were trying to shoot the next "Gone with the Wind", I think they were filming a fun action movie. While violence plays a big part in this movie, as do drugs and language, it's all in good fun. The violence is over the top and the language is used in numerous colorful phrases that you can't help but giggle at. This is definitely and R rated film, but would I stop anyone over the age of 15 from seeing it, no. The violence is so off the wall and humorous that it's not going to warp anyone's mind. There are some quick shots of nude women as well as clothed sex scene. But when you lay it on the line, Crank is just plain old summer action movie fun.

Terrible
In one word, stupid. This film is unintelligent and wholly unfulfilling. This movie desperately fumbles at humor for shock value, the way a freshman reaches for a pantyskirt. Boring action, bland acting, and ridiculous, non-tittilating nudity make this one a ludicrous waste of time.
