Not bad and I always like Statham, but I thought the film as a whole was too dark and too gray. That was too much about to enjoy. I couldn't really go along with it. And the races themselves are quite well put together, but after the first race I believed it and the other ones are somewhat boring repetitions. Nice and brutal at times, but also a film that I quickly forgot. 2.5*.

Fairly.

The fact that I can like Jason Statham and he has an ever-charismatic support with Ian McShane, has made watching this Death Race easier. So it doesn't amount to much. It's a bit The Fast and the Furious, but with more or less a Mad Max sauce over it, ie cars that have been pimped this time to wage war.

I usually don't like long car races, on the contrary. It is therefore pleasant to notice that Death Race is fairly smooth. The races don't last too long and there is just enough variation in both design and execution. The gray filter finishes it off.

Death Race a wonderful over the top action movie with a wonderful protagonist. The story or the content is not of high quality but who cares if it is delivered so wonderfully....
