Crank

Crank is an action movie about a man named Chev, a hit-man, who gets injected with a poison. The poison will make him die if he does not keep his adrenaline pumping. So throughout the movie he does things to make him stay alive. Chev gets into fights with people, shocks himself with the paddles from the hospital, and even has sex in public just to keep himself alive. The movie full of action and I never really found myself bored or wondering when it was going to end.

In relation to class and gender you see Chev in a nice apartment in the beginning, so you know he makes a lot of money before they even tell you what he does. In relation to gender of course the hit-man is in fact a man. As for sex they show him as the dominant in the sex scene because he is the one who initiates the sex and then proceeds to dominate her. All in all it was a good movie and would recommend it to anyone.

  1. I watched about half of this movie, but shut it off after he had sex with a woman in front of a tour bus of foreigners. I'm not going to say that it was a poorly made film, but it wasn't quite my preferred type of movie to watch. I don't recall much of it, but I'm sure you could elaborate more on class and gender in this movie.
