    People dont seem to understand this movie

    no one understands that this movie isnt just an action movie...it is a dumb, fake, hilarious movie that isnt supposed to be serious. when i saw this movie for the first time i didnt really think much of it either. however the second time i watched it i realized that this movie is supposed to be fake as hell and dumb. please, if u see this movie dont take it seriously. thats not the way that this movie was intended. i have watched the featurettes of this movie and the 2 directors said that it was supposed to be like a corny 80's action movie just modernized. if you at least keep that in mind while u watch it im sure that you will like it a lot more that thinking it is supposed to be serious.

    Intensely Fun!!!

    What a fun ride! Not usually my type of movie, my husband insisted. But was glad I watched - definitely didn't fall asleep in this one. This movie takes you on every ride possible in search of the highest adrenaline level - drugs, violence, desperation, revenge. It's loud, fast, vulgar, & violent. Never treads lightly.

    Crank

    It was ok, nothing special. Lots of f bombs and lots of gore. Otherwise the story wasn't that great and the movie just kinda throws you in the middle of it. Plus the ending was terrible as well.

    If you can stomach the hard-R rating, this is a smart, sexy and funny sprint.

    Crank is an efficient, witty, junkyard dog of an action movie for its first...
