Mental Health by Quiet Riot
For those of you not familliar with this movie, take a gander at the trailer. The premise of this movie is that the main character, Chev Chelios, has been poisoned and needs to keep his adrenaline up to live. Since he only has an hour or so to live, he seeks revenge on the man who poisoned him, and everyone associated with him. And the rest of the movie follows him through this.
This movie kicks incredible amounts of ass, and manages to be funny at the same time. Although its been rated relatively low by most critics, I would strongly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to be entertained for 87 minutes.
The movie not only uses some cool camera angles to great effect, but they used images from Google Maps for some of their scene transitions. When we would move from one part of the city to another, the camera zooms out to display an aerial view of the city, and we move to the next scene’s location.
After seeing it, I’m still not sure if I enjoyed it more than Snakes on a Plane. I think that Snakes on a Plane, in a theater full of enthusiastic fans, would be better than Crank. But on its own, Crank is a better movie. One of the best new movies out this year (not that it had very good competition so far).
See it if you can.
