    I would say Taken & Crank are about even.

    Yeah .. something like that. Crank’s effectively a comedy.

    Watched Crank 2 again, more Ott than the first one. Pity the ending made it impossible for Crank 3. C2 begs repeat viewings, always find new bits you never seen in previous viewings.

    I got Crank 1 on 4k Blu-ray recently and, while the resolution isn't anything to write home about, the movie itself still holds up as an energetic thrill ride through out, and same with Crank 2, but that one is a bit too out there imo (watched that one on Amazon Prime).

    So many directors rate Crank/Statham .. from De Palma to Quentin Tarantino..

    Strange the film made $$$$$$$$$, but no Meg II. :shrug:
     
  10. How do you mean? I finally got around to seeing C2 this evening, and it left the same sort of door open for a sequel as the first one did.

    The trailer for his next film The Wrath of Men is currently showing in the theaters. It's a Guy Ritchie film and Jason Statham plays, you'll be surprised to hear, a complete and total badass.

    Yep, we saw it at AMC's Town Center 20 perform Mortal Kombat (which was as dumb as a bag of hammers. But as my wife pointed out, it's no less silly than half the films directed by Tsui Hark.)

    What did
    you think of the Guy Ritchie movie, just a typical Jason Statham film, or something classy/original?
     
  16. Evidently you didn’t watch through the credits.

    It looks completely typical - Jason Statham plays a ridiculously skilled killer mowing down armies of faceless goons who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
