Crank - ACE Train Movie Review

Chev Chelios was one of the most skilled assassins in the West Coast crime syndicate. When he hung up his guns in the middle of a job to run off with his new girlfriend Eve, however, the man who was once the hunter now becomes the hunted. Awakened from his slumber by a telephone call informing him of his precarious situation, Chelios soon discovers that the only way to save Eve from certain death at the hands of his nemesis is to stay two steps ahead of his killers, keep his heart-rate high enough to stay alive, and blast through the streets of Los Angeles in search of an antidote.

If you like Jason Statham in Transporter and Transporter 2, you'll like this film. Heck, if you're a fan of action movies at all, you'll like this film. From beginning to end, there is non-stop action - seriously. That's the plot - if Jason Statham's character stops, he dies. So, he's always moving around and doing something to keep his adrenaline pumping. The plot itself isn't the greatest, but it never gets dull - that's for sure.

Rating: 3 of 5 stars
Would I watch it again: No
Starring: Jason Statham, Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakam


I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
