I can understand why it's so divisive, but for me Crank is an absolute classic.
What can I say? It's a big, dumb, non-stop, deliciously obnoxious action mental case that uses every trick in the book to get as in-your-face as possible while squeezing your two veg and tickling your chin.
While I didn't care much for The Transporter and didn't bother with the sequels, it's so pleasing to see Jason Statham emerge as a fully-fledged leading man; a proper, bona-fide Hollywood movie star, and in Crank he's simply brilliant. Likewise Amy Smart (of all people) as the delightfully clueless girlfriend.
It's consistently hilarious, exhilarating, utterly insane and hugely enjoyable.
