Best ending in years

Ignore all these negative reviews. I'd say they didn't watch it all, because the twist at the end is as good as I've ever seen. I admit, up until then I was ready to give it a 5/10, but as you'll find out it's because of the ending that it seems illogical till then. It's a very clever flick and I give it 8/10, easy!

Ending was a total rip off of The Game with Michael Douglas. Get rid of the plot of poison and owing money and its the same movie. The Game was just better.

Yeah, it was Crank until the end where they ripped off The Game.

Somewhere around the point where the bikers started shooting at them, I started joking with my friends about how the producers couldn't afford to shoot bullet holes in the car, and about how it would be hilarious if they were blanks, and the whole thing was a set up, and he got back home and his timer went off, and everyone jumped out and yelled "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

I could not stop laughing when I ended up being correct ;D (except in our ending, nobody was supposed to actually die, and Walter was quite dismayed to find Lloyd and Black absent)

Not sure how his brother and the doctor got in on it, though...I didn't see either of them at the party?

BTW, this movie also ripped off Escape from NY/LA, and Crank was just a ripoff of DOA, so it's a huge circle of rip-offs anyway...doesn't really matter.
