I saw Jason Statham (not Stratham, guys!) in his new movie “Crank!” on September 23rd in the Cinemaxx in Göttingen, and I must say that I love this guy! I fist saw him in “Snatch”, then in “The One” with Jet Li, and after that he had his two episodes of “The Transporter”, which are my favorite Statham-movies so far (especially Part II where he drives an Audi A8 W12 - way better than the BMW in Part I).

His new movie has a lot of action and it never becomes boring. He got an injection with the so-called “Beijing Cocktail”, which slows down his blood circulation and his heartbeat. So the only way for him to survive is to produce a large amount of adrenalin - which ends up in a very hectical search for his killer.

I admit that this does not sound like a very good story… but in that kind of action movie, the story is secondary: all that matters to me in a good action movie are good fight scenes, car chases and an brilliant humor - and “Crank!” has a lot of that!

Thumbs up, Jason!

Am I going too far if I consider him the next Bruce Willis?
