Death Race
Includes Both the Theatrical (105 mins) and Unrated (111 mins) Versions of the Film.
Welcome to the Death Race, where hardened convicts and smoking-hot navigators race tricked-out cars in the most twisted spectator sport on Earth! Sentenced to the world's most dangerous prison for a murder he did not commit, Jensen Ames (Jason Statham) has only one chance to get out alive - win the ultimate race to the death. Also starring Tyrese Gibson, Death Race is a "supercharged, sick and satisfying" (Nathan Lee, The New York Times) ride that will keep you pinned to your seat all the way to its insane, metal-crushing end!

In many ways the title and my subject like, both relate extremely well to the story line. A few, selected prison convicts are selected by the prison warden to enter a deadly car race around the prison compound. The main actor Jensen (Jason Statham) gets sent to this prison by mistake after he is found next to his wife’s dead body. The prison warden takes a liking to him, and promises him freedom should he win the race. Things do not look always look as they seemJason Statham, What More Do I Have To Say? - ryu2cool
The action scenes are intense, helped by the use of practical effects, rather than CGI overkill. Just wait until you see the tanker truck getting flipped in slow motion. Almost as cool as the semi truck flip in The Dark Knight. Jason Statham is the action star of this decade. The man has muscles everywhere and does the most with his limited acting range. Ian McShane of HBO's Deadwood is given some good lines and is one of the more memorable characters in the movie. I hope he gets more big screen parts in the future. Joan Allen turns in performance I could have never pictured her doing before today, and it worked.
Death race will likely give you a headache with it's shaky camera movements and some of the dialogue could have used some work, but I had a great time. If your of the male gender, the cars, guns, explosions and babes will keep you entertained.Mindless Fun - kav2001c
A film with hot chics fast cars explosions and no plot. Perfect brainless action film. Followed by a prequel which re-used many shots and cut out footage.
The premise is simplistic; become a champion death race driver and win your freedom. The prison enjoys revenue and the convicts cling to that small hope of freedom.
