Critic Reviews

Boston Globe | Ty BurrAdd Critic to Favorites

Crank is an efficient, witty, junkyard dog of an action movie for its first hour. Unfortunately, the script runs out of gas before the hero does. While it's cooking, though, it's violently preposterous fun.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Michael OrdonaAdd Critic to Favorites

Neveldine and Taylor empty their handbasket of cinematic tricks. They display visual wit, have fun with pop songs, and shoot much of the film in slightly choppy fast-motion ("under-cranked," get it?).Read the full review

  • Film: Review:Gamer

    09/04/09 Gamer , the third film written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor—who are credited, Madonna-like, as simply "Neveldine/Taylorhas two tough acts to follow: the alternately loathed and loved Crank movies. With their Jason Statham-fueled action parodies (or were they?), the duo juiced conventional tropes so aggressively that they bypassed over-the-top en route to the delightfully absurd. The trouble with Gamer is that it's weird, but not weird enough for the long haul. Its familiar premise—death-row inmate must participate in dangerous games to earn his freedom, to the delight of the bloodthirsty public, who watch on pay-per-view—gets twisted nicely by technology: Every move that inmate/hero Gerard Butler makes through the urban war zones of "the game," called Slayers , is controlled by a spoiled 17-year-old sitting in a visually overwhelming Internet playroom. If Butler and his gamer can win just a few more battles, he'll go home to his wife and daughter.  |  The A.V. Club
