Saturday's (1-20-07) Movie

My movie tastes vary from day to day. I go from Disney to Jackass to Vampire movies. Anyway, I watched Crank on Blu-Ray. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I will definitely watch it over and over again. I laughed my butt off. I don't think this movie was originally designed to be funny, but it was hilarious to me. Simple plot: A hit man is being retired by the gangster he works for. When I say retired, I mean killed. They give him a drug that stops the heart and blocks the adrenaline gland from producing normal amounts of adrenaline that keep your body and heart functioning. He is given 1 hour to live. He prolongs this hour by doing things that increase his adrenaline. He has sex with his girlfriend in the middle of "China Town", he drives his car through a mall, evades police all over the city, things like that. To me, it was such a comical movie. I really did laugh almost the entire movie. That is just my screwed up since of humor. I would recommend this movie highly to anyone without kids present. It really isn't a family movie. It has a ton of violence, some nudity, and really foul language. On a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being highest, I would rate it an 8.
