i watched the sequel of Crank last night, without any expectations in
|
|||
|
|
quality and plot - but i was stunned! the video camera work is faster
|
|||
|
|
and shakier with fast cuts and beautiful fish-eye sequences - like a
|
|||
|
|
music video of aphex twin or squarepusher. the music is hysteric and
|
|||
|
|
ingenius with cranky sound effects and a more than fitting musical
|
|||
|
|
selection. all in all it's a fine piece of 90min video-art with
|
|||
|
|
adrenaline and testosterone overdose...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
the flick is peppered with graphical elements and typographic
|
|||
|
|
delicacies, live-visuals style kaleidoscope effects and colors and
|
|||
|
|
contrast always crisp to the max. there are psychedelic sequences,
|
|||
|
|
illustrated sequences, super8-aestetics, a really absurd long shot
|
|||
|
|
tribute to godzilla movies.

the characters are exaggerated comic heroes reminding me a lot of robert
|
|||
|
|
rodriguez archetypical figures. couldn't be better! the appearance of
|
|||
|
|
david carradine as a life-craving horny old chinese triad gangster
|
|||
|
|
drooling over busty young whores is hilarious considering his current
|
|||
|
|
absurd death.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
if you have strong nerves, are used to bloody gore mayhem, explicit
|
|||
|
|
language with funny brit accent and a b-movie fan, video or VJ art geek,
|
|||
|
|
you will definetly enjoy this flick as much as i did.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5 out of 5 stars!
