Review of Death Race (2008) by Stuart M — 13 Mar 2010
I am a big JS fan, and I also liked Death Race 2000, so when I heard they were doing a re-make with JS in the lead role I couldn't wait... but then I think back to the car crash that was Transporter 2.
.. I knew this wasn't going to be great, but I hoped it was better than Transporter 2. Gladly I wasn't disapointed, infact, I was actually quite surprised. Although the plot was shoddy, it had some very satisfying "YEAH" moments, and I can't remember a film like that in quite a while.
The script is predictably cheesy, but the action is fast frentic and unforgiving. And at an hour an a half it didn't mess about and didn't feel uncsessarily long. Great bit of popcorn entertainment.
