Wonderfully hyper-kinetic, "Crank" opens with style and piles on the action all the way to the end credits. Rapid cuts, flashing images, split screens and wild camera angles are interspersed by momentary psychedelic slow-downs that might be a child passing in the other direction, or a bird's heart beating in its chest, the juxtaposition of the pell-mell against the sublime imbuing these moments with beauty and meaning. Jason Statham is tough and highly competent--he does his own stunts--and the dry Brit wit makes him the total action package. "Crank" is ninety minutes of well-crafted adrenaline.
