What was the Crank Franchise About?
Fandom describes the first Crank movie as follows, “Crank is a 2006 American action film written and directed by “Mark Neveldine” and “Brian Taylor” and starring “Jason Statham,” “Amy Smart” and “Jose Pablo Cantillo.” The plot centers around on a British hitman in Los Angeles named Chev Chelios who is poisoned and must keep his adrenaline flowing constantly in order to keep himself alive. He does so by various methods including taking drugs and getting into fights, while he tries to track down the man who poisoned him. The title of the film comes from the slang word for methamphetamine.”
What is Jason Statham Appearing in Next?
Statham will be appearing in the upcoming fourth Expendables movie that will be hitting theaters later this month. Here’s how Lionsgate describes the film: “A new generation of stars join the world’s top action stars for an adrenaline-fueled adventure in Expend4bles.
