Trivia:

Due to disturbing behavior throughout - including violence, gruesome images, strong sexual content - the first theatrical trailer of the movie was digitally altered. It showed operation scenes without human organs, also Milo Ventimiglia's hands digitally erased in a love scene. But the later Red Band version was released without any alterations.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When the doctors slam the Asian man's corpse into the wall (on the gurney), it is clear that the actor puts his hands up defensively before he falls.

Quotes:

Griffin Cavenaugh: You wanted to know if there was a problem? There is one. We don't like you.
Ted Grey: That's not a problem.

Great, sick fun!

Me and my friends watched the movie last night and I must say, we had a lot of fun.I'm not a big fan of "Crank" so I was a bit hesitant at first. It's not "Schndler's List" and it never tries to be. It's very dark and nihilistic but it never goes over the top.

It's fun, sick and twisted entertainment and if you're more into those kind of movies then you'll enjoy it a lot. If your favorite movie is "Atonemnet", I recommend to skip it.

I thought the performances - especially by Michael Weston - were great, it looked stylish and had an overall creepy atmosphere. Good special effects and the ending was really good too.

Overall: Really great movie.
