AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: It's a film about a guy injected with Speed... wait, there's no bus. It's a film about a guy who has to kick a bunch of squirmy butt to stay alive... wait, no snakes or planes here. But it is a film about doing lots of drugs and pulling lots of punches, and it entertains accordingly.

Critic Reviews for Crank
All Critics (93) | Top Critics (19) | Fresh (57) | Rotten (36) | DVD (10)
It's a promising concept, but instead of expending effort on, say, a coherent script, the filmmakers lazily rely on cheap editing tricks and gleefully relentless sadism.
Leave it alone, or leave your brain and pocket change at the gate, strap yourself in and just enjoy the ride.
Viewers baffled by stuff happening for no particular reason should probably stay well away.
For those who enjoy this brand of wholly mindless entertainment, Crank delivers.
Jason Stratham rampages through Los Angeles in this retread of Speed, but for a movie premised on unrelenting action, Crank proves fatally turgid.
The movie is cranked up somewhere between stylish and proudly stupid.

An adrenaline-filled path of destruction. The Neveldine-Taylor combination presents pointless entertainment and hardcore mentality. With Jason Statham at the focal point of all the damage, the film is wildly out of control and is yet able to provide for a very different kind of action film. 4/5

Crank is the cinematic equivalent of getting a shot of adrenaline right into your cerebral cortex.It renders you slightly confused, very excited, and for some reason...slightly aroused. Now I know you are probably saying to yourself, "isn't that film just Speed, but with a heart instead of a bus." You would be wrong. Not about the heart thing because that is totally true, but you would be wrong in assuming that that is all this film has to offer. What it delivers is truly beyond comprehension. And depending on the elasticity of your moral compass, that could either be a good or a bad thing. After all,this film features, but is not limited to; dismemberment, public rape, hands in waffle irons, phone calls during skydiving, boner gags, instantly disappearing gunshot wounds, Dwight Yokam, and gobs of racism. Fortunately, I had been warned several times and went into it with the correct mindset. Meaning, if you are able to take off your critic's hat and your ability to empathize with other human beings, then Crank is quite an enjoyable experience. But viewer be warned, do not imbibe energy drinks or attempt any strenuous activity while viewing Crank. I had the misfortune of watching this film on my iphone during a grueling bike ride and was pretty convinced that my heart was going to explode at any moment. Now that you have been warned, go rent Crank now and enjoy the ride.
