Name of the movie you are reviewing: Crank (2006)

Crank is an American action film starring Jason Statham, Amy Smart and Jose Pablo Cantillo. It is written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor as their directorial debut.

Review:
The movie follows the story of Chev Chelios, a British hit man of some sort in Los Angeles. At the very start of the movie, he gets poisoned by someone who very clearly hates him. The poison acts in a way that makes his heart-rate slow down to the point that he dies. So starts the thrilling and frankly hilarious adventure of a angry, foul-mouthed Jason Statham to flood his body with adrenaline by going on a crime spree. Oh, and he goes after the dude that poisoned him, obviously.

First of all, this movie is very funny. I didn't expect it to be and was pleasantly surprised. The action isn't awe inspiring, but it is good enough to not be a bother. The strength of this movie is more the creativity it displays within the limits of the plot. Jason Statham usually plays the cool character in the movies who is unbothered by the chaos around him, but here he himself is chaos personified. The side characters are a great addition that spices up the film. The girlfriend, played by Amy Smart is naive, sweet and surprising. The whole movie is enjoyable because every second is kinda unpredictable and you never know what you're gonna get. It is fast-paced and always moving. This is one of those movies that you should go into without knowing much. It's not about spoilers, it's just more fun to watch that way.

Would you recommend this to other users? Yes, go for it. This movie is most definitely R-rated, so it is normally appropriate for 19+ age group. It contains mature elements, nudity, graphic scenes and is pretty unapologetic about the language. I definitely wouldn't recommend this for general family movie nights.
This movie is especially for the people who likes a healthy dose of humor with their action. On the other hand, it is not for the ones who get personally offended by the characters and their actions because there are plenty of questionable decisions taken in the movie. Also people with vertigo, beware cause the camera moves a lot. But if you can sit back and enjoy, you will have fun with this.
