Jason Statham has carved a niche as a modern action icon known for his intense, over-the-top roles, and one of his wildest action movies yet is now streaming on Peacock.
subscribers looking for one of the most can now stream one of Statham’s wildest action films yet, but they’ll have to search a bit harder for its sequel.
We’re talking about Crank, the film widely regarded to be among Statham’s wildest. The movie, starring Statham as a poisoned Los Angeles hitman who must keep his adrenaline levels constantly elevated through reckless, violent, and high-stakes stunts to stay alive, started streaming on Peacock on May 1st. The movie was followed three years later by, which took the chaotic energy of the 2006 original and brought it to a new absurd, surreal level, but fans won’t be able to catch all of that craziness on Peacock.
The 2009 sequel, which includes a low-budget, 1950s-style Japanese kaiju fight featuring rubber monster suits, miniature city sets, and choppy slow-motion effects, isn’t streaming on Peacock, but fans can watch it for free on platforms like Pluto TV and Philo.really is. The premise alone – a hitman must keep his adrenaline pumping to stay alive – is absolutely bizarre, and it’s executed with a relentless, chaotic, and absurd energy that never slows down and, as a viewer, makes the film feel like a 90-minute adrenaline rush.
Throughout the movie, Statham’s character, Chev Chelios, does whatever is necessary to keep his heart rate up, including shocking himself in the chest with a stolen defibrillator, consuming massive amounts of caffeine and stimulants, and constantly fighting. That chaos is matched with directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor’s guerrilla-style filmmaking, including handheld cameras and sometimes rollerblades, that creates a constant sense of frantic motion.
The entire film is completely unhinged and proves that Statham’s best work often comes when he completely embraces over-the-top, high-octane absurdism. Jason Statham’s Upcoming $162M Action Sequel Sounds Like His Most Insane Movie in 18 Years All of that chaotic energy led to a frenetic, adrenaline-soaked thrill ride that is ridiculously fun.
Although the film’s 62% audience score and 17% audience rating on, its high-octane, video-game-like pacing and status as a pure adrenaline-fueled experience easily make it one of Statham’s most rewatchable movies to date.
