DVD-Crank

Jason Statham plays a hitman named Chev Chelios who has been poisoned with a substance known simply as the "Beijing shit" which works slowly on his body by inhibiting adrenaline receptors. In order to stave off death, save his dipshit girlfriend, and enact revenge on the ones who killed him, Chelios must keep the adrenaline pumping in this rollercoaster ride of a movie with a plot resembling a videogame such as Grand Theft Auto. Just like a videogame, Chelios must power up constantly with such things as cocaine, Red Bull, nasal spray, a shot of epinepherine, and sex. Needless to say, the movie is breathless in its pace but maintains a sharp sense of humor. My favorite scene has to be when Chelios fucks his girlfriend in public in order to stay alive.

I highly recommend this one.
