Death Race DVD Film Review

Death Race' marks the return of the 1975 classic film. This time, Britain's Hollywood
action hero, Jason Statham takes the lead as former Nascar champion Jensen
Ames. The film starts with the former star, Ames, losing everything and then just as
he starts to get his life back on track, his wife is murdered and he is framed for the
murder and sent to Terminal Island, the world's toughest prison. if they manage to
win 5 death races in a row. Statham takes the place of the four time champion win
the race, he will be dead!

As you might expect, 'Death Race' is packed with high octane action from start to
finish. From the opening scene to the closing scene, the action is engaging and
exciting. The races are no ordinary races, and the cars are no ordinary cars. Each
of the drivers have customised their cars with flame throwers, rockets and
everything else you can think of. For me, the mindless car destruction made the
action all the more enjoyable. However, beyond the continuous violence 'Death
Race' has little else to offer.

At times, the dialogue is cringe-worthy at best. Surprisingly, there is quite a lot of
comedy in 'Death Race'. Statham's behaviour is amusing, the mindless action
becomes laughable and there is the odd funny one line hidden among slow and
painful dialogue. As a film, 'Death Race' is pretty awful but for me, the spectacular
action kept be engaged and made 'Death Race' enjoyable. Overall, if you love
action then I would recommend seeing Death Race otherwise I would steer clear of
'Death Race'.
