"Mustang V8 Fastback. Took the best, made it better. Now we had some fun customising a personal protection package - three quarter inch steel plate, front and sides. Bulletproof glass will be here, here and there. And in the rear...a six inch solid steel shield we call the Tombstone." A brisk, bone-crunching modern re-imagining of the 1975 Roger Corman B-Movie classic, Death Race delivers precisely what its title promises: cars and carnage. There are a lot of things for serious critics and film-goers to hate about this film - it's a loose big-budget remake of a true grindhouse classic, there's plenty of gory violence for the sake of exploitation, it's undeniably sleazy, and it pretends to be a social commentary - but (in a very tangible way) this is truly missing the point, as Death Rac...Read more

If there is one thing that can be said about Jason Statham, it’s that the man is an action star you can tell is hungry for success, willing to put life and limb on the line for your entertainment. And that effort usually shows in the finished product. - Death Race is no exception. Naysayers have accosted it for being a mindless, video-game-wannabe, T&A parading, testosterone-ridden mess of a film. (If there is one thing I hate, it’s those whose only “critical” talent is stating the super-obvious.) And indeed, Death Race is every single thing critics have accused it of being. But for those of us capable of discerning exactly what a film is offering, all that means is that the movie delivers on what it promises, no more, no less. Whether that offer is something you want to rece...Read more

''I love this game.'' Ex-con Jensen Ames is forced by the warden of a notorious prison to compete in our post-industrial world's most popular sport: a car race in which inmates must brutalize and kill one another on the road to victory. Jason Statham: Jensen Ames I wasn't sure what to expect with Death Race. On one side of the coin I was worried it may just be another vehicle action junkie driving film for Jason Statham, on the other I'd say from the trailer it looked like one hell of a rush with more action you can shake a massive stick at. Death Race pleasingly falls into the latter and much to my surprise was very enjoyable and the time flies. For all it's seriousness it applies dark warped humour and injects proceedings with madness and action packed stunts. This makes Fa...Read more

The Year is 2012. "Death Race" is a very good film. I was actually surprised how good it actually was. There was tons of action, including great fight scenes from Jason Statham, and some great car racing. The cars in this film were different looking then most, but they looked quite bad-ass. They had high tech weapons attached to them. The material in the film was excellent. If you are into basically mindless action films with a pretty good story, a little bit like Doomsday, then watch this film. In the beginning of the film, I was wondering if it was going to get any better, because it seemed dull. The story was corny and honestly weird. The way Jensen (Statham) got put into prison seemed unrealistic and unbelievable at first, then the film started making a lot more sense. I would...Read more
