Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

undeaddt The point of the movie is all written in the title. DEATH RACE. People race just to kill each other and win. It is as simple as that and because of that, it is good. Maybe I like the movie cause I am a Jason Statham fan, altho I think that there was tooo much gore. 8/10 for me, just because the movie never got boring for me.

Tweekums In a near future United States the economy has collapsed and the most popular entertainment is the 'Death Race'; a pay-per-view spectacular where convicts race around a deadly course in heavily armed and armoured cars with the promise that they will be released if they win five races… something nobody has done. The closest is the popular 'Frankenstein'; a masked driver who has one four races so far… the only problem is he died in his last race as he crossed the line. Wanting a replacement to wear the mask, prison warden Claire Hennessey has former racing driver Jensen Ames framed for the murder of his wife. Once inside the notorious Terminal Island prison he learns that he is to become Frankenstein; it isn't long before he realises why he was set up and by whom… he doesn't just want to win he wants revenge.This film may be inspired by the 1975 film 'Death Race 2000' but its execution is quite different; the race takes place in an enclosed industrial landscape and the drivers only target each other rather than racing across the country getting bonus points for people they kill on the way… this may make this story less tasteless but it also robs it of a certain sick humour. The action is loud and brutal but as we don't get to know many of the characters their deaths don't have that much impact. Jason Statham does a solid job as Jensen and Joan Allen is suitably unpleasant as Warden Hennessey without becoming a pantomime villain. Also of note are Ian McShane, who plays 'Coach' the leader of 'Frankenstein's' team; Tyrese Gibson, who plays Jensen's chief rival 'Machinegun Joe' and Natalie Martinez who plays Jensen's sexy navigator. Overall I wouldn't say this is a particularly good film but nor is it particularly bad; if you are looking for something loud with lots of action you could certainly do a lot worse.

juneebuggy This was actually better than I was expecting. I liked the premise, the island, the prison setup. I mean it doesn't require a huge amount of brain power to watch but its still fun, the stunts are fantastic and there's a good cast attached. Statham -doing his thing, Tyrese Gibson, Ian McShane, the always bad and recognizable Robert LaSardo, a bunch of hot chicks for the guys. I also liked (Joan Allen) as the Warden, extra bitchy and amusing as the antagonist.And while the whole movie culminates towards the actual "death race" and it was super cool it also went on and on and I just kinda glazed over after a while, with all the bullets, explosions, near misses, gory deaths and bloodshed. Cool stunts though, very video gameish. 02/13

richieandsam DEATH RACEYet another remake… only this time they did a good job.The movie is about a guy who is in jail for murdering his wife, the problem is he is innocent. Whilst in jail, the warden makes him an offer he can't refuse… drive in the Death Race as a famous masked driver that died in the last race. If he wins, he gets his freedom. The Death Race is a car race like no other… not only do they have to win the race, but they have to survive. All the cars have weapons and every convict driving is racing for their freedom.The action in this movie is really good. There is not just great car chases, but the fighting scenes are also really well done. But then that is Jason Stathams best quality. The man knows how to kick butt in a movie. I thought the fight scenes were really well choreographed, but the camera work was not great. The action scenes seemed very shaky. They probably shot it that way on purpose so you can't see them missing each other. Still, I thought it was very off putting and sometimes hard to see what happened. This also goes for the driving scenes. There were a few moments in the racing scenes where I had no idea what was happening as the scenes just kept changing far too quickly and were very shaky. It didn't ruin it too much though. It was still very enjoyable.The acting was surprisingly good too for a cheesy action movie. The movie stars Jason Statham as the guy who gets falsely accused. Jason does a great job playing Jason Statham. Every one of his roles seem the same to me. But all his movies are very entertaining. Other cast members are Joan Allen, Ian McShane, Tyrese Gibson & Natalie Martinez. Everyone did well. I can't really fault anyone's acting.The cars in the movie looked great. I loved them and really liked the weaponry they had on them. There were some amazing crashes and some great driving from the stunt drivers.The thing I loved about the original was the violence. There was some violence in this, but to me the original had more. I loved the fact that in the original they were racing around the streets and the general public was getting killed by the racers as they raced around… with this one they are racing on a track in the prison. It lost the edge a little bit because of that. But in general, the movie is a lot of fun and well made.I will give this film 7 out of 10."The United States economy collapses. Unemployment hits a record high. Crime rates spiral out of control. The prison system reaches breaking point. PRIVATE CORPORATIONS now run all correctional facilities for profit. TERMINAL ISLAND Penitentiary streams a series of Cage Fights live on the Internet. Prisoners fight to the Death, creating a ratings sensation. They are the new Gladiators and Terminal Island is their Coliseum. But like the mob of ancient Rome, the modern audience soon becomes bored. They demand more... DEATH RACE is born."For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl
