Crank

In the neon‑lit sprawl of Los Angeles, the city hums with a restless energy that mirrors the pulse of its most dangerous resident. Chev Chelios, a merciless hitman with a reputation for sheer brutality, finds his world turned upside down when a lethal poison sends a countdown ticking through his veins. With every second draining his life, he is forced to confront a reality where staying alive means keeping his adrenaline soaring amid the chaos of the streets he once ruled.

The urgency of his plight is compounded by a personal stake: his girlfriend, Eve, has been drawn into the same perilous orbit. Their bond becomes a fragile lifeline, compelling Chev to race across the sprawling urban landscape in search of a cure while also shielding her from the shadows that now hunt them both. The city itself becomes a character, its bustling avenues, gritty back‑alleys, and relentless traffic serving as both obstacle and arena for his frantic quest.

Tonally, the film erupts with kinetic fever, blending hyper‑charged action with a darkly comic edge. The relentless pursuit by invisible foes fuels a manic tempo, while Chev’s own reckless ingenuity pushes him to extremes—driving cars at breakneck speeds, sparking fights in crowded markets, and turning everyday moments into adrenaline‑fuelled spectacles. The result is a pulse‑pounding ride that keeps viewers on edge, as the protagonist fights not only for a cure but for the chance to protect the one person who matters most before the clock runs out.
