Crank (2006)

2006 | USA | Neveldine & Taylor | ★★★

Starring Jason Statham and Amy Smart, Neveldine & Taylor's exhaustingly paced Crank is a wild and exhilarating if somewhat soulless action thriller, buoyed by its outré plotting, full-blooded performances, and imaginative set-pieces.

Racing against time and against his own body, Chev must keep up the pressure as he tracks down the men responsible and exact his violent revenge." Universal Pictures
