Death Race really surprised me. I was expecting utter garbage but the movie was actually quite watchable and even entertaining. Keep in mind that it's not real heavy on plot, it is an action movie after all. In Death Race Jason Stathem plays a man framed for murdering his wife by a corrupt warden in order to boost ratings for her Death Race, which is basically NASCAR with machine guns, rockets, napalm, and death traps. The drivers are racing for their freedom but the warden isn't keen on letting anyone go. Most of the film is filled with gunfire, explosions, fast cars, and mindless violence of all sorts, but it is rather fun to watch and I must admit I was able to get in to the movie. Don't turn your brain on or the film will completely fall apart on you. Death Race looks and feels very much like a video game, one that I would happily buy (the game, not the movie it is just average after all).
