But it was ok. The bit though I really loved was the end. Absolutely brilliant... had me slapping the arm of my chair and laughing like a manic. The only other film I was this crazed about was Deathproof. The incredible footage of a guy falling to his death, wind whistling around, and the ground rushing up, and hes calmly talking on his phone saying good bye to his girlfriend. Brilliant, so macho. That moment had everything Transporter had. And if you watch the extras they actually did the last bit of the drop for real with a massive crane and a Sfx machine that drops someone on wires at huge speeds. Mad. Crank,

Trip was awesome! (I'll write about it once things settle down a bit.) You seriously have to suspend disbelief to watch Crank but, if you can do that, you'll likely find the level of ludicrous things the guy goes through pretty entertaining. There's a good deal of clever eye candy, too. Honestly, it's as close as a film I've seen has gotten to representing the sheer chaotic glee of GTA. If you're in the right state of mind, it's good fun. Still, Crow T. Robot & Co. would have a field day with it no doubt. :-) Thanks, David. Trip was awesome!

Now, on a scale from Star Wars to Kung Pow, where precisely would you put the stupidity level of Crank? I didn't see it in theaters because it looked, as you say, really moronic. However, I did hear from a number of people since that it has its interesting points. If the overall movie is below my personal head-exploding threshold, it might be worth watching anyways. Even if just so I can pretend I'm Crow T. Robot. Hey, welcome back.
