Crank

Sky Thriller HD, 10.45pm

Sex ●●● Violence ●●● Language ●●●

A ridiculously entertaining thriller that grafts together the plots of the film noir DOA with the action movie Speed to dizzying effect. Jason Statham plays a hitman who is injected with a synthetic toxin that will kill him unless he keeps his adrenaline levels at their peak. It is pure hokum, but the action is cranked up to the level of fullblown hysteria so that you won’t notice the cavernous holes in the plot. 2006, 18, 88MIN
