Starring Jason Statham, Amy Smart, Jose Pablo Cantillo, Efren Ramirez, Dwight Yoakam, Carlos Sanz, Reno Wilson, and Edi Gathegi
Chev Chelios (Statham) is about to begin his morning with an unexpected wake-up call. Groggy, practically unable to move and with a heart that's barely beating, he hears the voice of thug Ricky Verona, who reveals Chev has been poisoned in his sleep and only has an hour to live. As it turns out, Chev is a hit man who freelances for a major West Coast syndicate. A run of the mill job the night before instead went awry: he let his target slip away in an effort to quit professional killing and start a new life with his girlfriend Eve. Now, Chev must keep moving to stay alive: the only way to prolong the poison from stopping his heart is to keep his adrenaline flowing. As the clock ticks, Chelios cuts a swath through the streets of Los Angeles, wreaking havoc on those who dare stand in his way. He must rescue Eve from danger, stay two steps ahead of his nemeses and search for an antidote to save his own life. (Lionsgate)

Obviously awful and disgusting if you are over 20 and/ or generally tend to use your brain. Obviously great if you are young, stoned, male, immature and have fallen for the modern "jackass generation" as i call it.
Smion H gave it a9:
You have to be a bit crazy and a bit more gaga to like this movie, but if you are, you do not want it to stop. You get at least as much adrenaline as Chelios.
Sebastian M. gave it a10:
As long as you view this as a, no pretences, action movie that is all about speed and adrenaline then this movie is one of the best in its kind. well worth the watch
Nerijus D. gave it an8:
Has some flaws but come on, it's so fun, amazing!
Dylan Haase gave it a10:
One of my favorites. This movie is in my honest opinion art. I HATE action movies and was actually dragged kicking and screaming to this movie, as it turned out this movie is a comedy / action movie. It doesn't take its self serious and will make you cry in laughter (at least i did). You will either love it, or flat out hate it.
PJ K gave it a10:
Lots 'n lots 'n lots 'n lots 'n lots of action. So much that you just love it. Best action movie ever. You can really see how Jason put a lot of work into it. Truly awesome.
movie prophet gave it a9:
This movie shows great insight as to what may happen if you received the shanghai cocktail. Most of you would give up. Not my boy Statham....He is the up and coming bad ass of cinema....no question.
