Crank 2: High Voltage Review


Crank 2 opens with our hero, Chev Chelios (Jason Statham), falling out of a helicopter, landing on a car, bouncing onto the street, and surviving. He is picked up (with a shovel) by Asian gangsters who steal his heart, replacing it with an artificial one. Now, the question is, knowing Chelios can fall hundreds of [...]

The Bank Job Review


Despite the ridiculous critical claim on the front of the box which states The Bank Job is “everything action fans could want,” this is not the usual Jason Statham outing. In fact, the only action is limited to one scene late in the film that doesn’t even qualify this as an action film. This is [...]

Death Race Review


For a movie as trashy as Death Race, it opens with a believable scenario. The economy has crumbled in 2012 (actually happening), people pay to watch inmates fight each other the death online (plausible), and now people want an extra level of violence (yes, plausible). None of that makes this movie any more intelligent; in [...]

Transporter Review


The movie that made Jason Statham an action star, Transporter is a fun, loaded action flick. It may be incredibly over-the-top, but that’s the point. Statham plays the role of Frank Martin with a sly smile and dry anger that suits his acting style perfectly. Corey Yuen directs, having starred in numerous Hong Kong action [...]

The Italian Job (2003) Review


If you’re going to steal $35 million worth of gold bars, where are you going to sell it? Surely someone will be on the look out for it, good or bad, and completing a transaction of that size is going to gain some attention. That’s not just a problem with the 2003 remake of the [...]

War Review


Jet Li and Jason Statham are plastered on the front and inside cover of War facing off with each other. It’s supposed to be an action epic, something as big as King Kong vs. Godzilla. It’s not, and it’s borderline unwatchable for most its running time. The ludicrous depiction of the FBI and dueling Japanese [...]

Transporter 3 Review


It’s hard to fathom how a series that loves mindless action could go this far astray. Yet, here’s Transporter 3 in all of its miserable, incomprehensible glory. Fans of the previous two films should be advised to stay some distance from this potentially final film in the series, for whatever exciting fun the predecessors brought [...]

Transporter 2 Review


Like the film which wastes no time in picking up where Transporter left off, Jason Statham wastes no time beginning this wildly over-the-top action flick. The first fight comes within minutes of the credits, and the rapid-fire plot development is there to give something to the action (and nothing more). The action is more intense, [...]
