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 say this is one of the most entertaining films of 2008.
