Crank

A hit man (Statham) learns that a poison injected into his body will kill him if his heart rate drops slows a certain point. Now he must exact his revenge on the people who injected him before he takes his last breath.

did anybody see the movie?

Jason Statham (The Transporter,The Italian Job),Amy Smart (Road Trip, Just Friends), and Efren Ramirez (Napoleon Dynamite) is in it.

Haven't seen it yet but will because I adore him, and because the film looks like stupid fun (as was The Transporter and The Transporter 2).

My initial thought when I saw the promos for the first time was that it sort of reminded me of a cross between DOA (original or remake) and Speed. Very inventive. *lol*

Thanks for the thread!

ETA - one thing that does bother me is the title. My cousin is a recovering addict and spent a long time trying to kick his crank habit, and it's no joke...not to mention nothing to play around with as a film title. Ah, well - never let it be said that Hollywood folks have good taste. *rolls eyes*

I saw this last night. It wasn't at all what I expected.

It was almost kind of spoofish I thought.........spoofing Hollywood action films. I don't know how to describe it.

Some of the scenes were !!

Jason is so freaking hot.

Havent seen this film either but the preview looked good. I do like Amy Smart too, she is a good actress.

AWESOME! Good to know (and that makes it all the more interesting - that it's spoofish). You have superb taste so I trust your judgement!

Jenny - I know the name, Amy Smart, but I can't think of what she's been in off hand... *goes to check out her IMDb profile*

I guess I wasn't watching Felicity by then, but she was one of the few things I liked about Rat Race.

My friend Jason and I were going to go see this tonight, but we unfortunately couldn't make the last showtime... we've already set a date to go tomorrow night.

He says that he expects it to be a "bloody good film". He's a big Statham fan(As well as being from England), so he's super excited.

I haven't heard anything bad about the movie yet, which is good. I think my heart might be broken if it were terrible, I'm too in love with Jason Statham. *LOL*

I'll be sure to stop back by after I watch it to give my thoughts.

Why is tomorrow night so far away?! *lol*

I saw it, pretty good by what I was expecting. A couple of slow points, but was certainly a hoot to watch.
