Death Race

Rating: R

Movie Release Date: August 22, 2008

DVD Release Date: December 21, 2008

Plot 411: An ex-race car driver is framed for his wife's murder and jailed in a prison that allows its inmates to race each other for freedom.

Review: Honestly, this isn't really the best action, car or Jason Statham flick, but it does have some interesting action sequences. Don't look to this film for any morals, insights or anything other than straight on action. Because Statham remains mostly inside his car, we don't get to see much of his typical martial arts extravaganza. What we do get to see is great driving and special effects. Tyrese Gibson also co-stars.

Watch It: If you're a typical action movie buff who watches every single thing Hollywood has to offer.

Skip It: If you really liked Statham in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. This will ruin him for you.
