This film is about a man who is accused of murdering his wife is sent to a jail when havoc often breaks loose. When he begins to win jail fights a sexy women approaches him with an offer to win his freedom...in a death race. He takes the offer to drive in a race where cars have rockets, grenades and other apparatuses attached. He must fight for his life with potential friends to ensure his freedom in the end. This movie is over the top silly but I have to be honest I enjoyed that it. The characters are bland as old wood but the action may be all over the place but I enjoyed it.

now i must indmit.i cactually found myself enjoying this film.now yeah,the film has bad dialogue,chessy plot,cheesy acting,cheesing character development.and the list goes on.but come on,who goes to a film called "death race" and expects Quentin Tarantino dialogue and Martin Scorsese characters.this film was really fun and entertaining.Paul W.S. Anderson may not be truly a great filmmaker,but he does know how to creat fun films for all to enjoy.not to mention the great action car sequenses were very fun and intense.

Nothing about this movie is good other than the really loud action scenes. If you are wanting to see something that is pure action, not good, and nothing comparable tot he bad action movies of the 80s, see this one. Not horrible though.

For a remake I thought this film was very well done. Highly entertaining. I really enjoyed Death Race when I thought I wouldn't. Especially with who was working on it. Glad to see Roger Corman produced though. I would suggest this film to any action lover or lover of Death Race 2000.

If you're in the mood for action, this will do. It's nothing like Death Race 2000, other than they both have racing cars and guy named Frankenstein. Beyond the action, there's not much more, but you could do worse to pass the time.

This movie was very unexpecting. I thought i was going to be a womp womp, but it was pretty good. If you are in to racing and death..lol you will really enjoy this action-packed movie. Tyrese Gibson was good and funny as usual. I really like him as an actor. I give it 2 thumbs up. You should watch it.

Fast paced movie all around. Has stlye and some cool moments. Feels too much like a quick video game though. Not too memorable either. Just good enough to pass the time if you're bored.

I whined that my boyfriend was dragging me to this movie, but about ten min into it I was won over. Now I'm not gonna say every girlfriend will like it, but if she doesn't you might wanna examine your relationship (jk). There are explosions a plenty, enough to please your inner pyro. But there is also a touch of social commentary. We do live with a media that is controlled by ratings and ads (aka the almighty buck), and this film goes with the conclusion that we'll keep heading in that direction. killing people for ratings. There's also the underlying theme of a dad just wanting to get back to his baby. But mostly there are a lot of explosions.

great movie!! I was going in with pretty high hopes and it still exeeded my expectations. It wasn't predictable and it was very entertaining. Jason Statham was great along with Tyrese Gibson.
