Review of Rat Race (2001) by Kristofer S — 22 Jun 2013
To keep some of the wealthiest gamblers happy, Las Vegas casino owner, Donald Sinclair (Cleese) sets up a human "rat race." Selected at random, six ordinary people are told that there is a duffle bag filled with $2 million in cash locked in a locker in Silver City, New Mexico. The first one to reach it, keeps it all... and there are no rules.
The racers travel by any means necessary - car, train, plane, foot etc., and they are not above cheating each other. Meanwhile, all are being secretly watched by Sinclair's wealthy tycoons who make bets on who will win the cash.
Stars Rowan Atkinson, John Cleese, Whoopi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding Jr., Seth Green, Jon Lovitz, Breckin Meyer, Kathy Najimy, Amy Smart, Lanei Chapman, Vince Vieluf, Paul Rodriguez, Wayne Knight, Dave Thomas, Dean Cain, Charlotte Zucker, and John Cheese.
