CRANK (2006)
SYNOPSIS
Chev Chelios 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.
