Crank - Review

Genre: Action/Comedy
Premise: Guy gets injected with mysterious Chinese poison, meaning he has to keep his adrenaline going for 24 hours or he dies, which means the movie has an "excuse" to be one, long uninterrupted action scene. Hilarity ensues.
Who: Jason Statham, the guy from The Transporter, who is the picture you see in the dictionary under "cool."
Talking point: The hangover you would get the next day if you took all the over-the-counter stuff this guy takes. And the public-sex scene, of course.
Verdict: It's funny and it's an action movie. Because it doesn't take itself seriously, you can enjoy the crazy action scenes without feeling like an idiot. Especially the ending. Rent it, it's what I did - it's an original idea with original cinematography.
What to tell your girlfriend to get her to see it: Jason Statham is in it.
What to tell your boyfriend to get him to see it: Jason Statham is in it.
