First time directors Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine cast Jason Statham in 2006's violent midnight movie Crank.
It follows an assassin who's been injected with a poison that will kill him if his heart drops to a certain level. Crank makes no attempt to hide the fact that it's an absurd concept and that's part of the appeal. It's edited and shot in such a stomach-turning style that it suits the frantic storytelling on screen. With no wire stunts, CGI or explosions to be seen, Crank makes for a delightful throwback to the exploitation action flicks of the 70's.
3 more injections of that "Chinese shit" out of 5

3½ Grand Theft Auto: The Movie out of 5
I'm going to go with 3½ as well. It's just so damned tongue in cheek and full of frenetic fun to not love it. Plus... Stath.
