Jason Statham and Amy Smart in Crank – Double Workout Inspiration To Train Like Your Life Depends On It

Christmas is coming. I’m slacking and enjoying it. So there goes another non-training goof off post. Can’t wait to have some of those delicious cookies tonight by the way…

[The guy's been one of my favorite actors ever since I saw Transporter. He seems to play almost the same type of character in all of his movies - an ass kicking driver/hitman/former spec ops guy. I don't mind it all lol. Speaking of Transporter, can't wait for the third installment.]

Anyway, I saw another cool movie last night – Crank, starring Amy Smart and Jason Statham.

[Amy Smart. Just a class-A beautiful woman. The world needs more of these, no?]

Amy has been one of my favorite pieces of screen eye candy ever since I saw Road Trip with my best friend. He insisted that he showed me this movie that supposedly took place in his college. Well they changed it for the movie to Ithaca University instead of Ithaca College but still I guess it counts. Or was it the other way around?

But I digress. So, the movie’s got Amy. She has an incredible smile and sweet voice. This can’t hurt a movie, right?

[Watch this hilarious interview. Jason is not only an on screen bad ass, but also sports a great sense of humor.]

It reminds me of another adrenalin infused roller coaster of a movie – the German flick Run, Lola, Run. They both share blood pumping, heart racing fast paced action where the protagonist has to rush in order to save a life.

Speaking Of Heart Racing Action

Crank reminds me of an episode of one of my favorite TV shows – Fastlane. In it Van, one of the protagonists, has been poisoned with an unknown substance and must find out what it is. The same happens in Crank. Jason Statham’s character has been injected in his sleep with some nasty Chinese synthetic stuff and needs to punish his enemies for that.

Brawling, fighting, car chases, beautiful women, sex, more beautiful women with less clothing. You get the picture. So in a way Crank is Fastlane on steroids.

Which is ironic really because Fastlane was Miami Vice (do you remember that) on steroids.

By the way, the movie is not PC at all and I liked it for that.

Any other Jason Statham or Amy smart fans out there?
