I watched Crank at the cinema on Friday. On balance worth watching - just - I think...
The story-line's negligible, but I liked the effects they used - like text that appeared at the bottom of the screen. And the ending. It was very centred around violence as a way of life, which made me uncomfortable, but there were a few bits to make you think - I like that in a film.
Also saw The Constant Gardener on DVD - it has Ralph Fiennes in it, which is enough of a recommendation in my view. Gripping storyline too though (I need to watch it again to understand the end) and a powerful film. I'm a little concerned though about the way it handled an important issue (provision of AIDS drugs in Africa) and mixed it up with an emotional storyline... I did feel a little like I'd been emotionally blackmailed at the end but still thought it was a good film.
