Movie Review

Grade: C- There is stupid, and then there is Crank stupid. Jason Statham seems to be making a name for himself as a 21st century action hero who only stars in idiotic films. But where The Transporter movies were consistently entertaining if not a bit outlandish, Crank goes over the top. The absurdity is probably intentional to some degree, but that really doesn't matter - it is poorly executed and definitely doesn't feature Statham at his finest.
