Death Race-2008 Review

I just finished watching the newly released on dvd Death Race starring Jason Statham. I didn't have extremely high expectations for it going in and it deffinately met my standards and then some. Statham plays his normal ass-kicking hero role to the max as he is framed for his wifes murder in a futuristic city where one of the biggest draws is a game run by the prison system. The concept is simple. Win 5 races and you win your freedom. Not too bad , unless the warden will do anything to keep you from winning 5 races. Some of the parts are fairly predictable but even I didn't see the ending coming. All in all not bad and deffinately worth a watch.

Rating-6.5/10
