"Chev Chelios" (Jason Statham) wakes up in his apartment and finds out that he has been given an injection of a special Chinese drug known as a "Beijing Cocktail" which essentially acts as a poison by slowing his heart down until death eventually ensues. So in order to survive he has to stay as active as possible while simultaneously seeking out a drug dealer named "Ricky Verona" (Jose Pablo Cantillo) who did this to him in the hope that he might have the antidote. Yet at the same time he also needs the help of his new girlfriend "Eve" (Amy Smart) but doesn't quite know how to tell her that he got into this situation because he is a hit-man for the mob. In any case, Chev is in serious trouble and he can't afford to rest or slow down as long as this poison remains in his system. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I have conflicting opinions about this film. For starters, I don't generally care for movies that consist of action at the expense of everything else--and this film certainly has a lot of action. However, given the the fact that this film is based on a video game along with a plot that requires the main character to keep active, I suppose this is one feature that simply cannot be avoided. Likewise, I don't especially care for films that are laced with profanity from start-to-finish and this film has that as well. But again, Chev isn't exactly a person who mixes well in polite society. So given that fact the low-class vocabulary is also probably justified to a certain degree. However, what really annoys me the most is the plethora of films made in this day and age which confers special powers or attributes to the main character out of all semblance to reality. That said, if the directors (Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor) felt it was so necessary to use crude language and humor to capture a sense of realism--then they should have kept everything else as realistic as possible too! Otherwise, they should have put a cape and costume on the main character and been done with it. At least that way it doesn't insult the viewer's intelligence. Now, having said that, allow me to say that there were some pretty good action scenes in spite of the criticisms just noted. Again, the action was crucial to the overall plot of the film and so it was justified to a large degree. Hence my conflicting opinions toward this movie. But in any case, I believe it would have been much better if some of the language and sexual scenarios had been toned down a bit. That being the case I have rated this movie accordingly. Average.

I'm not sure if I must say any more than the three words in the subject line. This must be, **by far** the worst ever movie (or movie series not even sure what it is anymore...)I'm really not sure in what universe, would anyone rate this a 7/10.It's filled with explicit, sick, twisted sexual scenes, that offer **no** value whatsoever. Has virtually **no** story, therefore screenplay must have been done by a 6 years old, that just saw his very first *oobs.Again, I have **never** saw anything more brutally UN-funny, UN-captivating, an UN- artistic in my entire life.Perhaps the very few fans of "The Human Centipede" will find this "movie", agreeable, I, myself, can't say anything more than "YUCK" at the sight of Jason Statham, and the incredibly poor directing and screenplay.Basically one has to not be human anymore to enjoy, or to even think about watching this, after the first few minutes of it.Call me CRAZY, please... I won't really care... I AM still human...

You are bored of always the same action films and you don't know what to do . Then stop what are you doing now and watch this great film. I'm not a great fan of Jason statham films (Transporter , mechanic .....) but this film delivers this film is one of the best action films without great shootouts or explosions ,because this film is a great adrenalin trip that won't let you sit tired on the couch. The film is from the first to the last minute entertaining . It's like grand theft auto in real life . The film also has for me one of the greatest and coolest beginnings in film history. I don't understand why this film is so low rated .And now you may ask why only 8/10 ? Because I'm not a guy who's giving often high ratings . 10/10 are only getting films that are for me perfect like lord of the rings ,breaking bad(also series) South Park......(And sorry for the bad English and I think also not correct grammar )

Ha, what a hot mess and I mean that in the best way possible. Just an awesomely destructive, adrenaline filled ride. I honestly can't imagine anyone but Jason Statham playing this role either, I mean he's insane, violent, sexy and hilarious. I really never knew what was going to happen next.It plays out a bit like a video game with Statham as hit man Chev Chelios, who wakes up to discover he's been dosed with a lethal drug by a rival (the opening is excellent). While he tears apart Los Angeles in his frantic search for the antidote he learns that he'll die if his heart rate slows down too much. Okay, there are a lot of memorable scenes here but when he steals the police motorcycle and drives it around while wearing a hospital gown... 01.10.14
