Crank | Rotten Tomatoes

deus e *Crank* is a relentless, high-octane action film that thrives on its breakneck pacing, jump cuts, and kinetic cinematography—all of which are seamlessly integrated into the storytelling. As a genre piece designed to deliver a near-constant dopamine rush, it excels, offering a uniquely immersive and adrenaline-fueled experience. However, its portrayal of female characters leaves much to be desired. Women exist solely as strippers in cages or passive sex objects, with no agency beyond their relation to the male protagonist. The most egregious example comes in a deeply uncomfortable scene where the main character’s girlfriend initially resists his advances—both physically and verbally—only to apparently change her mind after continued coercion. This moment, framed for comedic effect, feels particularly tone-deaf and in poor taste. The result is a conflicting experience: on one hand, *Crank* delivers a fresh and engaging take on the action genre through its stylistic choices and relentless energy; on the other, its treatment of women and consent is frustratingly outdated and difficult to overlook.

If you are looking for a comedy film, do not watch this movie. If you are looking for a unique crazy over the top comedy action, then this is the movie for you.
