I forgot how awesome this movie is........


just watched it on TV and yeah it's a very enjoyable flick! straight to the point, and non-stop action very good 8/10 :)

It's a lot of fun. I miss Neveldine/Taylor doing these kind of action movies.

I'm still hoping they make a Crank 3. The world needs it with everyone being so concerned with being so politically correct. The Woke crowd would go nuts.

reply

I still hope for that too. It'd be super refreshing.

agreed 100%, I saw this 3 times in the theater. Its one of those unique movies where before you know it, the credits are rolling. Never a dull moment at all.

I just watched this after having not seen in for about 15 years, and even then in the company of friends.

I was entertained throughout. Once you get passed the suspension of belief and realize you're basically watching a fantasy movie it's a great watch.

OP, do you still share the same opinion now that it's been a few years?

reply

always.
i agree with you, once you accept the "fate" etc it's just dope as heck

IMO one of the best in Statham's action-hero career

reply

Definitely a good watch if you're looking for a raw action movie without any expectation of realism.

It's enjoyable to respond to a six year old post and get a reply from the OP. Glad you're still around!

I'm wondering how it looks in 4k as it did get a 4k release. It's likely just upscale as it was shot with very early HD cameras.

reply

I believe the version I watched was 4k (albeit the compressed version streamed through HBO) and it looked nice for a movie nearly 20 years old but it definitely is a far cry from something shot in native 4k. It wasn't immersion breaking by any means though, especially since the movie plays out like more of a comic book than comic movies do to where you're not really thinking about how it doesn't appear the same as real life does.

reply

4K is ass, unfortunately. Stick with your Blu-ray if you have one.

reply

Oh I still have the Blu-ray I'm just wondering if the 4k was worth the upgrade. I guess not.

it was just released on Hulu, good crazy movie. and how hot was Amy in this? 🍆💦
