it's probably the only good movie jason statham has been a lead role in other than Transporter (only the first one).

The Bank Job wasn't bad.

oh so wrong!

London was pretty good..even though he was not the 'main'. In the name of the king was OK. Crank was awesome, in my opinion. Revolver...War....of course 'the bank job'.

Crank ranked up there as one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Death Race was entertaining, but Crank felt like I was being assaulted by a dozen 15 year old's playing their music too loud and screaming the first thing that came to their mind with me left to standing on my porch screaming back "Get off my lawn!"

...which should have originally been named Twisted Metal.

You're right. They should have known a video game would be coming out in 20 years with the same concept and named it that instead. DR2000 came out in '75 :p

:laugh: Darn right, those jerks! :p
