Death Race (2008)
This is another mindless, numbing, ruthless, muscle tearing, bullet ripping, car crashing, pile up junkie action movie that I've watched in one day, and how do I feel at the end of the day? Fucking liberated!
After all that I heard about the movie, its not that bad at all. The story makes more sense than I thought it would. And Jason Statham shows off his action movie genre again. The characters are very plain and there is no emotion on any of their faces.(which is a good thing for this movie) The character of Frankenstein doesn't seem to develop through the movie. But then again, ITS A JASON STATHAM MOVIE! Whaddya expect?
A millionaire bitch who runs a correction facility in the middle of the ocean kills Statham's wife and frames him so that he would come to her prison and race as the masked Frankenstein and keep the legend alive so that the fans who watch Death Race live on TV won't be dissapointed and the bitch would make more money. Statham cracks the code and ties all ends up. (Kills the killer of his wife, blows up the bitch, honours the Coach, helps his opponent, wins the Death Race and, I wish, gets down with Natalie Martinez!!)
The death race, per se, is shot very well with good punch of thrills. Its a joyride from the start and doesn't loose momentum. There is absolutely no scene in the movie which seemed extra or unnecessary. The whole wife and kid sequence of the convict hero is done in a short and a non-boring way, which I like. Kinda getting to the point of racing as fast as possible. All in all, a popcorn cruncher action flick!
Rate - 3/5
