Watched Crank last night. I was prepared for a stupid popcorn movie. Surprisingly, I enjoyed it much more than that.
Someone set out to make a live action video game, and they nailed it. This is an absolutely archetypal video game plot from beginning to end. They committed to it 100%.
Unfortunately it does suffer from a really poorly written love interest with an even worse actress. It wouldn't have been so bad, but there's a huge chunk of movie that gets completely dragged down by her. It definitely hurts the overall movie.
But if you're in the mood for highly stylized, ultra-cartoony action, it's a good ride.
