Some Movies Pts. 8 of Many (Jason Statham Edition)
Crank
Starring Jason Statham
Directed By (Two Guys Without Any Prior Experience)
What a rush! When the preview says the movie is a non-stop action packed adrenaline rush, they are not kidding. Jason Statham is a assassin who has been poisoned by enemies and allies for letting one of his target go alive. And this poison is no ordinary poison of course. In the
movie it is called a "Chinese Cocktail", which means that it has blocked receptors in his adrenal gland, and if his adrenaline stops pumping, he is going to die. So by the plot you know it is going to be an outrageous action movie. It follows Statham's character as he goes about finding who did this to him, and killing them while setting things straight with his girlfriend (Amy Smart) before he dies. While the plot is out there, the action is not, well choreographed gun fight mixed with chase scenes of every kind mixed with tense stand off moments give this movies a unique blend of action. Another thing that I noticed is the strange camera angles that I noticed, that I've never seen in any other movie, so some original creativity going on here. And all the while only costing a measly 12 million dollars, which, by Hollywood's' standards, is not hat much at all (i.e., The Transporter, cost around 27 million dollars to make) To top that all off, instead of bombing like most people think it would, it made 30 million dollars at the box office, almost tripling the money spent, very nice indeed.
Some Thoughts
Don't be extracted by activities that don't agree with you,
Do what you want to do,
Drop everything else that is bothersome and pointless,
Focus on what your soul feeds on.
Chaos
Starring Jason Statham
Directed By Tony Giglio (No background worth mentioning)
This movie pits Jason Statham and Ryan Phillippe against a vengeful Wesley Snipes
while using the theme of chaos. Statham is a cop that was kicked off the force for an incident with a hostage situation where he accidentally killed the hostage. Now he is called back on to the force to deal with a bank robbery situation. After lots of plot, which I really don't want to explain right at the moment, Philippe suddenly finds that Statham is behind the whole thing, and he is a very tricky bastard. He gets away, and with 1 million dollars in police money, BAM. Good movie, not great, not crappy, but a good use of my rental money, even though I didn't rent it. If you like Jason Statham, then definitely get this one, because it is a good "twist at the end movie".

Just a few corrections... not like you care, but for those readers out there.
"Jason Statham is a assassin who has been poisoned by enemies and allies for letting one of his target go alive."
- Nope. he was posioned for killing the hit. at least that's what they told him, really Jason was posioned to get rid of him and have the other guy move in. That's why in the end they were all surprised when the suposed dead guy showed up alive and killing people.
"And this poison is no ordinary poison of course. In the movie it is called a 'Chinese Cocktail
', which means that it has blocked receptors in his adrenal gland, and if his adrenaline stops pumping, he is going to die."
- the fact that it is CALLED something does not cause it to create this reaction. Instead it is a posion called 'chinese cocktail' that affects his body by .... That's like changing my name to God then suddenly I am.
I am the Matrix;TheMatrixIAm :P
