      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Nonstop action and adrenaline rushes are the words of the day when describing Crank. After being poisoned by Ricky Verona (Cantillo), ex-hit man Chev Chelios (Statham) has less than 24 hours to find an antidote, or he can consider his life over. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits a very clean picture, with sharp detail, vibrant colors, and accurate fleshtones. Black levels are not as deep as the best releases, which can hamper shadow delineation as well. The image can be highly contrasted, especially when outdoors, but in general, this is a very good picture. This is a very good picture. (Danny Richelieu)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #116 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Widescreen Review is my favorite magazine because it is different from all the other A/V magazines. The ads are better, and it seems like all the others (that I subscribe to) have the same boring ads. You also have better product information in your equipment reviews. I love the DVD New Release section. It tells me how much I have to save up for DVD purchases. My favorite section is the Coming Soon To A Retailer Near You section. I have learned so much from this magazine I use information from it every day of my life. I am an A/V fanatic. (ask my wife). Anyway, I will subscribe to this mag forever. Thanks for such a great magazine
