Critics Consensus

Crank's assaultive style and gleeful depravity may turn off casual action fans, but audiences seeking a strong dose of adrenaline will be thrilled by Jason Statham's raucous race against mortality.

J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

This is one of those movies whose empty-headed premise is so pure it’s witty: with his insatiable need for excitement, the hero is a perfect stand-in for the fanboys in the audience.

Sure, Crank is totally ridiculous, unbelievable, exhausting, and pretty much just plain stupid, but that's what makes it fun.

Lessons of Darkness

Its freneticism ... futilely tries to cover up the ludicrousness of every decision made by its dim characters.

Rated: C+

Everything is Horrible (Substack)

Crank is an action movie about the ridiculous gratuitousness of action movies. Hollywood demands constant sex, action, violence, and motion for its genre fans. Crank takes that to an extreme of literalness.

Described as a dark comedy, Crank offers a plot that, while not being completely unique, gives the audience something a little bit different.

Rated: 4/5

Rob's Movie Vault

These movies are the corroded battery of the action film, jump-started and throwing off sparks and acid.

Rated: A

Crank tries too hard in a few spots that leave you rolling your eyes. But the adrenaline pumped premise is fun...just not deep.

So many critics gave this a bad rating because they thought it was shallow and mindless. If you watch this movie hoping for something heady or meaningful, you clearly misunderstood the meaning behind the movie given the title and advertising. This an action comedy if not somewhat of a satire. It is hilarious, adrenaline pumping, and just great. It is goofy because it was supposed to be goofy. Definitely a fun watch.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos com algumas cenas toscas e sem sentido, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme nem o jason statham, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, o filme ainda teve cenas sem sentindo, como o chev fazer sexo com sua mulher na frente de todo mundo e no final que foi muito ruim, o chev caiu de mais de 2000 mil metros até no chão, e cai em um carro, quica nele e depois cai no asfalto e ainda fica vivo e foda-se.
