Crank : High Voltage (2009) 6/10

Starring : Jason Statham, Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakam, Efren Ramirez
Director : Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor
Running Time : 85 mins

Chev Chelios (Statham) manages to survive falling from a helicopter without a parachute, but just when his luck is looking up, he is kidnapped by Chinese gangsters who remove his heart to that they can transplant it into their leader, replacing Chev's heart with a small engine. Once he regains consciousness, Chev sets out to find his real heart and kill the man who stole it!

This is such a ridiculous story that it's really hard to concentrate on what's going on. The fact that the silly plot is surrounded by over the top action sequences and bad acting really didn't help make this seem any better, but for those who like their action movies to border on the ridiculous this will most definitely appeal.
