Two bored dirtbags/hyperactive camera operators working off the general ethos of “fuck you, fuck everything” accidentally destroy and rebuild cinema in their psychotically depraved image before simply burning it all down again anyway just for the hell of it. Presumably, we once lived in a world where real people ok’d this and spent money on it. We have to go back.
We only got two Crank films yet they're rebooting Batman for the 408th time. As a great man once said, fuck that.
Movies like these exist in another realm. They do not make sense. They are proud of it. They celebrate a full-testosterone, chauvinistic, sexist, semi-pornographic, parodic, overtly violent and electricity-charged tsunami of the ideas that precocious adolescents under the influence of nerve-altering hallucinogenics would have if given lots of budget, a camera and lots of porn actors incuding Ron Jeremy in the cast to work for them in order to party with basically everything that is wrong with our insane society.
Yes, I love it. This is art.
57/100
You pretty much know the format now, still if you wanna freaking have an insane wild time with some gross stuff and outlandish thrills, you can give it a shot.
Cinematic equivalent of hate-fucking. An offensive assault to the senses.😫 I hate myself for loving it and am embarrassed I came back for another round😳❤️🩹. Jason Statham anally penetrates a man with a shotgun.🍑🤢 There's a borderline pornographic sex scene at a race track🏇. It ends with a literal fuck you to the audience.🔥🖕🏻🔥 A truly nasty movie. Why did I like it?🤷♀️
The directors of Crank didn't want to make another one, so they wrote the most ridiculous shit in the world in the hopes of getting the script thrown out. It wasn't. And the world is a better place because of it.
If anything it gave us the gift of Mike Pattons score.
The makers of the Crank franchise have created their own genre: the exploitative violent comedy for adult five-year-old vulgarians. Just my type of movie. Don't bother with the first one tho, they didn't perfect the genre until the second one.
Tolstoy wrote, "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." That goes double for movies. Good movies, no matter how different in tone or subject matter, all display a similar set of recognizable traits. Bad movies can suck for a million different reasons. One of the most common causes of film suckiness is the unspoken but all-pervasive assumption that every movie, regardless of genre, must contain the following elements: 1.) a plausible plot 2.) sympathetic, realistic characters and 3.) relationships between said characters that change over the course of the film. Now, most movies need these elements to really grab an audience, but for others, they just get in the way.
Action films, in…
if you can't appreciate this in some capacity, i don't think you actually enjoy cinema as an art. kinesthetic KINO
Holy fuck lol, the kind of electrifyingly obnoxious trash cinema that could only come out of the darkest depths of the 2000s, the first one at least kind of manages to be a palatable movie but this one really puts you through the ringer of hatred and grime while surprisingly capitalizing on the heart gimmick about as well as the first film. Detestable and entertaining from start to finish. What to do with that? Love my boy Jason of course, and I feel like I’m a changed person after seeing the jumper cable moment, but Amy Smart is a ton of fun in these.
Within the first 10 minutes, Jason Statham sticks a rifle up a dude’s ass, and that’s nowhere near the most insane thing to happen in this.
