''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 Fast and the Furious look like a paper bag, while Death Race pummels the shit out of bag with a heavy laden crowbar.
''Okay cocksucker. Fuck with me, and we'll see who shits on the sidewalk.''
The action packed Death Race offers us interesting characters within a prison complex, and a plot that has a simple premise. Drivers pitted against each other in a vehicle gladiatorial battle for freedom.
Old hand Actors such as Ian McShane, Jason Statham, Joan Allen, Tyrese Gibson, not to mention the ultra sexy Natalie Martinez, all of them and more spice up the heavy onslaught of action packed carnage that arises.
The action and effects will have fans of this genre drooling and baying for more. I couldn't refrain from bursting out laughing throughout. Definitely some high octane shit going down. Plot wise it's hardly original, story wise it's predictable, it's highly unrealistic in places but you're hardly going to care when you have cars flying in the air flaming and heavy weaponry ripping the shit out of anything that moves.
Director Paul W.S. Anderson has taken the inspiration of Death Race 2000 and spat out this crossbreeded show of Running Man proportions with some ace heavy artillery accompanied cars.
Saying all this, and I haven't even got onto the music and Soundtrack of Death Race which is awesome. It had me banging my head in accompanying rhythm, bloody fantastic variety to say the least.
''Don't talk to the other drivers. Frank never did. Part of the mystique. Let the mask do the work.''
In conclusion, Death Race does exactly what it sets out to achieve. Which to excite, to electrify and to dazzle. It's the kind of action movie that doesn't require any thinking but the simplicity of seating back and going with the flow per say. Plus Statham gets another car movie like Transporter under his belt. A sheer colossus of a scorcher that accelerates right up till the end.
''You wanted a monster? Well, you've got one.''

MCT:September 14, 2008À vrai dire, je ne m'attendais vraiment pas à ça! Voilà le frère jumeau du film "The Condamned".
Premièrement, Jason Statham est phénoménal. Il nous fait peur par moment, et on prend quand même pour lui. Excellent personnage.
Ian McShane incarne le chef mécano, l'homme que tout le monde souhaite d'avoir dans la situation dans laquelle se trouve Jensen Ames (Statham). Parfois même, on pourrait rêver de l'avoir comme père. Il semble un homme formidable dans la vie.

Nathalie Martinez ! Quel bombe ! :O Mon dieu, elle continuera de me faire craquer longtemps cette femme ! Excellente complice.

La directrice de la prison, jouée par Joan Allen, est très malicieuse. Le gardien et elle sont très ... comment dire ... les mots ne sont pas assez fort. Avoir un fusil à la main et les rencontrer en personne, ils se prendrait chacun une balle à la tête ! Elle est fait pour ce genre de rôle, et elle nous l'a bien démontré dans la série Jason Bourne.

Ce film m'a emballé, car il innove dans un nouveau genre. Bien qu'il ressemble au film " The Condamned", vous irez voir ma critique, il innove lui aussi. Il prenne en considération que l'avenir se situe de plus en plus sur internet, et c'est le principe ici. Les gens doivent payer pour voir une course où soit la victoire ou la mort vous attends.
De plus, ce qui m'a surpris, c'est un peu le principe de course à la Mario Kart. Passer sur des ronds pour déverrouiller des options (soit l'attaque, la défense ou le piège).
Frankenstein, le conducteur au visage mystérieux que représente Jensen Ames viens nous chercher. Il ne dit jamais un mot, marche lentement et carré, un vrai monstre.
De plus, Ames est vraiment, mais vraiment très futé. Il m'a surprit à de nombreuses reprises. Jamais je n'ai dit: "Fait ça ! Pourquoi t'as fait ça ? Niaiseux !". Il m'a surprit vraiment. C'est peut-être ce qui m'a fait apprécier le film.
Une fin très douce. Rien à dire.

Sans être un remake, on sent que l'inspiration provient de Death Race 2000

I saw this movie today, it was better then I thought it was going to be. The action was great, Jason Statham and his abs were awsome, I plan on watching it at least ten more times before buying it. It was complete action for those of us who like a good action movie, good looking guy's, fast cars, and jason kicks ass more.

I was looking forward to this until I saw a full length preview and realized that they totally took out the killing pedestrians aspect of the original. WTF!?! I know it takes a lot to shock todays audiences but they could've really pushed the envelope here. Blood and gore galore mixed with the sick humor of points to run over people? That would've been absolutely brilliant with today's fx, but no...instead we get Running Man in cars. Could still be a decent dumb action movie but it's a wait to rent now. Meh.

Anderson's remake of the Roger Corman classic about a hyper-violent cross-country race that breaks all of the traditional rules of the road. Co-stars include Joan Allen, Ian McShane and Tyrese Gibson, who takes over the role of Machine Gun Joe, made famous by Sylvester Stallone in the original.posted 397 days ago -
I don't seeig this done as a remake. They just have to take the original and update. No deep, intertwining story, 20 minutes of dialouge, or let uwe bowel touch it.
