	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Nick De Semlyen Empire	"A Saw for the action crowd, this is an intense, stripped-down ride that goes places you’d never expect (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Genially preposterous, with stunt players outnumbering actors by something like a 3-to-1 ratio, the action thriller 'Crank' is surprisingly watchable"	POS
United States	Nathan Lee The New York Times	"For a movie premised on unrelenting action, 'Crank' proves fatally turgid"	NEG
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Enjoyable and insanely frenetic (...) A guilty pleasure (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"'Crank' is an efficient, witty, junkyard dog of an action movie for its first hour. Unfortunately, the script runs out of gas before the hero does."	NEU
United States	J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"This is one of those movies whose empty-headed premise is so pure it's witty"	POS
