Poll: Adrenaline Rushes

In an acute stress situation, the hormones adrenaline and norepinephrine are released excessively into the nerve system. These hormones speed up the pulse rate and the respiratory rate to get you highly conscious quickly. Nature implemented that for getting instantly into fast action for repelling animal attacks successfully and for mastering threatening situations in general.

Some movies seem to be on drugs. They speed up many scenes and can make the audience sit on the edge of the seat. The effect may come from speedy action, shaky cam, shown aggression, or tricky angles.

Which of these movies best looks like an adrenaline rush?

Slow down here to tell about it.
