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.
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.
Great action movie pulls the plug on all things violent.
As you can see, there is a lot of sex, drugs, and as a replacement to rock 'n' roll, violence would be the equivalent alternative. However, this film could not have been made without these surprising, but yet important factors, taking into consideration that the plot is about a hitman that is injected with something known as the "Beijing Cocktail", a Chinese synthetic chemical that slows all your vital organs until your death. And the only way that you can survive? Adrenaline. RUSH.
So, that's what this guy did. Sex. Drugs. Violence. Full blown. But, this is an action movie that is supposed to give YOU the rush too, after you watch it, it's supposed to put the viewer in the place of the main character, played by a great Jason Statham, and make you experience what he does. Okay, I agree, it could have done with a couple less harsh words, but it just wouldn't be as great if it was censored. So, you might as well just sit back, and enjoy it.
Let's skip to the point here: Violence: countless bloody scenes, one with a decapitated hand, still holding a gun. Jason Statham picks it up, shoots someone with it, and then drops it on someones lap. (This is disgusting, as they show blood from the guy who was shot splattered all over the walls, and Chevs friend. Sex: Breasts are constantly shown. Strip clubs, and parties, mostly. Language: This movie is chock full of intense language, (consistent swearing) In one crank movie, I'm not sure if it was crank or crank 2, there is a song called suck my d*ck, and they constantly repeat: suck my d*ck, suck my motherf*ckin d*ck. This is NOT for kids!
this movie is awsome it has alout of action and its sort of funny but it has nudity in most of the scenes and chev does alout of drugs in the movie but over all it was good
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.
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.
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!!!
