Unbelievable

This movie made me feel like I was on some sort of PCP/Crystal Meth high for an hour and a half. It's relentless in how aggressive it is and does not shy away from delineating from its core plot in order to explore some tangential themes.

It is not a movie meant to educate, influence, or impact anyone more than just providing a deep dive into how chaotic an experience can be. Chev Chelios I think will go down in movie history as a character that lives beyond the screen itself. He embodies what many wish to be; he is indestructible, unwieldy, intelligent (though not in the formal sense, one can see how he is able to interpret situations and act accordingly), and incredibly potent at what he does. He is not the kind of character that can take a place in a comprehensive story, rather, his place is in these short sprint-type tales where the premise and outcome can easily be extrapolated, allowing for the actual journey to have free reign.

If he is not already there, Jason Statham is on his way to becoming the premiere action star. He has a body type that does not try to overplay his brute strength. It allows for him not only to be powerful, but incredibly fast and agile as well. His facial expressions convey the rebellious nature of his character perfectly; he does not ever waver in his determination and would rather die than pull a punch.

I would love for Crank to turn into a series of movies, as I believe they offer not only a playground for the director to explore what this character can do, but also a brief ride for moviegoers to enjoy and use to raise their heart rates a bit.

I understand why this movie does not have a higher rating, as it can never appeal to a big portion of the general population, but I think one should look at it in a different light. My opinions do often vary from public opinion on many movies, but I believe it is mostly due to what I expect to see.

I am going to end with this: If you think this movie was the worst ever, please take a look at Miss March. I had an appreciation for some of WKUK's work, but after seeing this movie I feel like everything they do is just too cheap and without merit.

I gave Crank 2 a 9/10, by the way.
