Another example of a classic "GUY" movie ..
About the plot.. there's very little to speak of.
The movie is all about, 'how much vehicle damage can u cause in 1.5 hours'..
Totally fun watch with friends.
**SPOILER ALERT**
Jason Statham plays the lead (name i dont remember), who is sent to Terminal Island, a prison where all the hardened criminals r placed after he ws wrongly accused of killin his wife.
Oh, and also the year is 2012, where the whole world is fuckd up and people used to watch gladiator sports featuring 'Terminal Island' prisoners... but eventually, ppl got bored, and thus DEATH RACE was born.
Its basically a 3 day race, first 2 days u just need to survive the others and cross the finish line.. 3rd day is when u race... winner wins his freedom.
There ws this racer named 'Frankenstein' who wears a mask n ws really popular with d TV fans, but he ends up dead after a race. his death was covered up, and the head of the prison gets Statham to act as Franki, cuz both wer gr8 drivers.
As usual, first he disagrees, then he follows with d plan, and since he wears a mask, every1 thinks Frankenstein returns aftr his accident.
So race goes on .. all other competitors, except Franki and the guy who killed the real Franki r left.
just b4 the final race ends, both manage to blow up a hole in a wall, in the building where the race is held, and they escape out after a long chase with more stuff blowing up ..
Finally both escape n every1 is happy..
Also in between, Natalie martinez is there.. just for show.. :P
watch it if ur hungry for some adrenalin pumping race action with explosions n stuff pretty much in every scene..
\m/
i'd rate it 3/5 .. purely for the fun factor.. ^_^
