A Race To Your Death!

Watch out Vin! Jason Statham is giving you a run for your money in Death Race, starring as Jensen Ames out performing even Sylvester Stallone in the hit re-make of Death Race 2000 (1975)



(Death Cars)


Jensen wakes up to find he's being framed for his loving wife's murder with the murder weapon in his hands, and police towering above him.
Finding himself dragged into jail owned privately by the ruthless Hennessey (Joan Allen) who made a private racing track arena within the walls of Terminal Island Prison where selected prisoners with skills to run racing sports cars are handpicked and given selected cars modified (Think Fast & Furious incorporated with Missiles, machine guns,armoury, you get the picture!) with their own team of technical crews while trying to survive precariously out-witting and killing of the other drivers ( innnocent bystanders included)




Naming the event: Death Race, it is then broadcast around the world via the Internet where viewers have to pay to watch it in three stages.
With no choice but to agree with Hennessey's terms in his bid for freedom and to get his child back (Each death race drivers are set free if they won after four rounds) Jensen then dawns on the mask of the racer who originally won four races before his heavily armoured car failed him inexplicably which lead him to his death knowned as the famous Frankenstein.




Alongside each racers are given co-pilots also knowned as the famous 'NAVIGATORS' (Thou shall see the movie to get my drift why they're famous, hint hint!) and Case (Natalie Martinez) does a great job at that but undermined the new Frankenstein's skills.




With the help of Coach, psycho killer Machine Gun Joe (Tyrese Gibson) and the rest of the Frankenstein crew, all's well ends well. You know a movie's well worth your every penny (in this sense, I meant to say cents) when you start directing midway and Hennessey does a great job being the real bitch you wanna strangle with your bare hands for making the character helpless in every bid.




A movie not to be missed if you favour the likes of '2 Fast 2 Furious, Fast and the Furious'. This is one script Vin should have taken up.

EPIC! There's nothing more to say. Everything in this re-make seems to be commendable. However, I also think that Vin Diesel should've done this movie. Maybe the producers chose Jason because he had done more action films than Vin. Hmm, both are different, however. They both rock in action scenes. That's what really matters.
