Premise
A hitman must keep his adrenaline up or he dies from a poison.

Who should watch
Jason Statham fans.

Thoughts
I expected a fast-paced, over-the-top, slick action flick. That was what I got.

What made this movie fun was the creative ways Jason Statham's bad-ass character had to keep his heart going before he could kill the bad guy, who looked like Cuba Gooding Jr.'s twin. Some was funny, some was cool, and some was just outrageous.

My main gripe would be that the movie lost its creativity, and had a pretty standard last act.

For what it was, I was a happy customer.

What I would change
I found the scene when a couple are having sex in public to be unrealistic. You expect me to believe that someone can do it in a crowd, and no one will record it on their cell phones? Come on, people!
