Crank
Chev Chelios, a hit man wanting to go straight, lets his latest target slip away. Then he awakes the next morning to a phone call that informs him he has been poisoned and has only an hour to live unless he keeps adrenaline coursing through his body while he searches for an antidote.
Critics Sentiment
Chelios kills Verona mid-air and survives the fall
Chelios discovers Kaylo's corpse in warehouse ambush
The film dips during the warehouse ambush sequence but rockets back up for the rooftop confrontation and helicopter finale.
Crank starts strong with its brilliant premise and maintains high energy through most of its runtime, though it experiences some repetitive moments in the middle act. The film builds to an increasingly entertaining and over-the-top finale that reviewers consistently praised as memorable and satisfying. Overall, critics appreciated it as mindless but expertly crafted fun that succeeds at its unpretentious goal of pure entertainment.
