CRANK

With Jason Statham, Amy Smart, Jose Pablo Cantillo, Efren Ramirez, Dwight Yoakam

Directed by Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor

Hitman Chev has been poisoned by a criminal rival. Before he dies he has to find the culprit and get even. In order to stay alert and fight the poison’s lethargic effect on his mind and body, he has to keep his adrenaline pumped, whether it’s with physical motion, flooring a car at top speed, snorting drugs or having sex, if he stops, he’s done for. This results in a relentless blast of adrenaline fuelled action from one end of L.A. to the next. Flash, high octane mayhem throwing the action genre into a new category.
