Crank 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman June 6, 2023

Lionsgate continues to offer what comics might refer to as a "runner", a gag that keeps going and going and going, like a veritable Energizer bunny. I started my Crank 4K Blu-ray review by once again mentioning how seemingly random Lionsgate's 4K releases could be (and frankly have continued to be), but that joking assessment might also include the occasional SteelBook packaging, frequently released in conjunction with Best Buy, that Lionsgate indulges in. This release repeats the contents of the older 4K UHD release, and so I refer those interested in further information to consult my review.


For a plot recap and my comments on video, audio and supplements, please see my Crank 4K Blu-ray review.


Crank 4K Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality  5.0 of 5

Video quality is assessed in the above linked review.


Crank 4K Blu-ray Movie, Audio Quality  5.0 of 5

Audio quality is assessed in the above linked review.


Crank 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  2.5 of 5

On disc supplements are detailed in the above linked review. The SteelBook has some fun elements, including a mylar O ring that offers Jason Statham's glowering presence on the front cover, which, when removed, reveals "what lies beneath", so to speak. The main SteelBook is awash in metallic golds and silvers, with dramatic black accents. The inside illustration offers a somewhat cheeky (in more ways than one) illustration that is kind of comically psychedelic. A 1080 disc and digital copy are also included.


Crank 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.0 of 5

Those unfamiliar with this film are again encouraged to visit my original review to a get a least a gist of its content. This SteelBook offers a rather dramatically graphic image on its cover and should appeal to collectors of this kind of packaging.
