Movie Review: Crank

Overall the movie is rather good, much better than Snakes on a Plane as far as action movies go this year. Once the action begins, it is practically nonstop. There are a few soft moments, but thanks to the plot they can't last for very long or the main character will die. How's that for a way to move the story along?

The style of the movie is unique as far as movies go this year. Shifting filters and contrasts twist the movie around to fit the phase the movie is in. The easiest way to think about this movie is in video game terms, which is easy in itself because the title sequence looks straight out of an Atari system.

The movie really is fun, even if it is on an adult level. Imagine various ways to keep yourself going with adrenaline and I bet most of those are in the movie.

There is a lot of typical Hollywood action falsehoods, but you don't really pay attention to them. The movie only really has one plot twist, but you watch it for the action and the insanity.

Recomended to see in the theatres, because the things theatres are known for only help this movie - mainly big screen and sound. It is also really good to see in a group if you can.
