15 Most Mindlessly Entertaining Action Movies Ever

7. Crank

Required Action Hero Line: "I'm going to get that little f----- if it's the last thing I do."

Cocaine in movie-form, 2006's Crank is an absurd and absolutely wild ride. Jason Statham plays Chev Chelios, an assassin with a bpm death sentence. With the audience's heart racing as fast as Chelios' heart needs his to live, we're taken along through his rampage.

Crank is a movie that is over-the-top by necessity. There is no slowing down. It's highly stylized and visually spectacular, every scene upping the action and pushing the premise. The fact that this movie got a sequel (especially if you know how it ends) is completely insane.
