Death Race (2008)
description written by member Zara:
Jason Statham stars in this futuristic thriller as Jensen Ames, an ex-con turned speedway champion who's framed for a grisly murder and forced to compete in a grueling three-day televised car race against his fellow inmates.

Pointless violence, grunting dialogue and a villain who's a crustier b*tch than Condie Rice.

Once again movies and video games are connected overtly in a Jason Statham star vehicle. Somewhat strangely, though, where Crank (2006) played like a live-action "Grand Theft Auto," Death Race looks to the "Mario Kart" series for inspiration, at least in terms of how vehicle power-ups are engaged. Anyone who's played any...

'Death Race' is a loud and mindless action flick from writer-director Paul WS Anderson, responsible for bringing the Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, and Alien vs. Predator franchises to the big screen. His best film to date has been Event Horizon, and that is about the only thing in his repertoire that differentiates him...
