Cyn

Jason Statham in Crank is just about as hysterical a gang, drug, action thriller as you could possibly create. Bloody and violent, this story laughs at itself along with all the other blow-em-up, shoot-em-down, I'm seeking revenge movies to have appeared in the last decade.

Being hot helps and Jason has some very nice musculature, but the scene where we see his buns as he's running around in a hospital gown is too funny.

According to certain bios, the sexy Statham was an Olympic fish, hit hard times, and ended up selling Guy Ritchie several watches. He ended up in Snatch and since then, seems to be a successful, sought after actor.

I, for one, am glad. He's the right amount of muscles, seriousness, and impishness in the characters he plays to keep this movie goer happy. Adults, Crank is not for kids...not at all. The humor and the situations are all very adult from the violence, to the sex, to the outright guffaws.
