Watched this movie last night, before going to sleep. Actually, i just wanted to see a minute, but got caught with all the action and couldn't stop watching. Truth is, i love action movies. And this one is a typical exagerated movie (not as much as Mission Impossible 3) but with a funny plot.

Re: Crank (2006)

the idiot who OK's the budget for this movie shouldnt just be fired, he should be cruxified in times square. and that goes for the guy who decided to make "stomp the yard "as well.

Re: Crank (2006)

I thought the movies was pretty good, for your basic crazy off the wall all action flick, but if you honestly expected more of a plot out of this movie going into it then I guess I see how it could let you down. The description of the plot alone should lead you to see how the movie was gonna be.
