Old school action movie with a modern pace
Saw this one on a plane. I was not expecting anything, especially
considering the movie director (did Mortal combat, resident evil...). I gave "death race" a try because I read somewhere that Steven King liked it. Surprisingly, this movie really delivered the goods. Fast, bad-ass film, with lots of action scenes but not over-the-top like many movies nowadays. Definitely worth watching (it is not a masterpiece, just a really entertaining action flick). I just saw "Wanted", which scores better on IMDb and had a much larger budget I assume, but I found it found it so boring that it reminded I should comment on "Death race".. mike99dylan05 watch Meet Dave movie

Driven to Destrucrtion
These muscle car action films are beginning to become indistinguishable
from the video games they either inspire or rip off: the same pounding music, the same roaring engines and squealing tyres, the same nubile eye candy in skimpy top and skintight jeans. The only difference is that in the film it's the likes of Jason Statham who has all the fun while the rest of us are slumped on the sofa with a glazed look in our eyes and crumbs of popcorn stuck to our tee-shirt. Then again, maybe that isn't such a difference... To be fair to Death Race it's never trying to be anything other than mindless entertainment squarely aimed at a recognised target market. This market isn't interested in characterisation - all it desires is the trigger for some visceral emotion (in this case - as in so many - Statham's thirst for revenge when he is framed for the murder of his wife) which will enable it to identify with the hero, and enough speeding cars, crashes, explosions, etc to give them that vicarious thrill that keeps them reaching for their games consoles. The film's one redeeming feature is the fact that it largely eschews CGI effects for the real thing, so that mostly what you're seeing isn't some technical art graduate's handiwork but some madman strapped into a hollowed-out, souped-up racing machine driving at insane speeds towards often immovable objects. It's all good fun, even though a small part of you feels guilty for enjoying it. The story has holes large enough to drive a dreadnought through, but again you get the impression that the filmmakers know that but don't care - they just want to have a blast and put what they consider to be very cool images on the screen. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they don't. Either way, the movie would have benefited from less rapid-fire editing (no shot lasts longer than 3 or 4 seconds), and less use of the shaky-zoomy cam directors are so fond of these days.. |
