Crank is about hit-man Chev whom wakes up and plays a DVD and learns that he has been injected with a Chinese poison. He calls his doctor played by Dwight Yokum who suggests he keeps adrenaline running through his body or the poison will kill him. Chev does all kinds of crazy stuff. He drives a car through a mall. Robs a pharmacy. Steals epinephrine injections at a hospital. Hooks up with his girlfriend in a public place (quite energetic). And has a showdown with the men whom poisoned him with back up. Amy Smartt plays the bimbo girlfriend with not a lot to do.
This action movie is definitely played for laughs. It has more comedy than some supposed comedies out there. It sort of reminded me of Bruce Willis in the Die Hard movies.
FINAL VERDICT: Fun, entertaining. Certainly not the best story out there but it is worth 90 minutes of mindless fun.
