Quick Peek
Terminal Island: The very near future. The world's hunger for extreme sports and reality competitions has grown into reality TV bloodlust. Now, the most extreme racing competition has emerged and its contestants are murderous prisoners. Tricked-out cars, caged thugs and smoking-hot navigators combine to create a juggernaut series with bigger ratings than the Super Bowl. The rules of the Death Race are simple: Win five events, and you're set free. Lose and you're road kill splashed across the Internet. Three-time speedway champion Jensen Ames is an ex-con framed for a gruesome murder. Forced to don the mask of the mythical driver Frankenstein, a Death Race crowd favorite who seems impossible to kill, Ames is given an easy choice by Terminal Island's ruthless Warden Hennessey: Suit up and drive or never see his little girl again. His face hidden by a hideous mask, one convict will enter an insane three-day challenge in order to gain freedom. But to claim the prize, Ames must survive a gauntlet of the most vicious criminals--including nemesis Machine Gun Joe--in the country's toughest prison. Trained by his coach to drive a monster Mustang V8 Fastback outfitted with two mounted mini-guns, flamethrowers and napalm, an innocent man will destroy everything in his path to win the most twisted spectator sport on Earth.

High-octane, intense and carnal, this movie will elicit cheers from the audience at times. It's plot is a little superficial, but who really cares about that in this type of movie? You'll hate the bad guys (and gal, more specifically), like the good guys; and enjoy the ride to the good guy's inevitable victory. This movie also introduces Natalie Martinez to cinema and she certainly also appeals to a man's superficiality, Wow.

Death Race is like Rambo 4 on wheels. The movie is perfect! No useless dialogs or character development. It gets right to it….. Good guys, Bad guys, a great reason for everyone to want to smoke each other, and a warehouse full of weapons and ammo. The action is non stop. Statham is a bad MaFa I can not imagine anyone NOT liking this movie.
Pros: testostorone fix
Cons: when is Death Race 2 coming?
