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.

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.

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.

Good Action - Lacked Story

With action, action, action, and a very small bit of drama, Death Race is good for any action that likes their story to have a very, very small helping of something else on the side.

The story of Death Race follows a man accused of murdering his wife. He is to take part in a race to gain his freedom, and he'll be racing as the role of Frankenstein, a masked racer who was killed on the operating table after crashing during his last race. Although the story was given well and very simple, I hard a hard time following it. Except for high action scenes, I didn't really watch to movie because I found those scenes to be boring. The boring scenes didn't last very long, however, and the action scenes lasted a really long time.

Now the characters were the worst part of the movie. Most of the...

Great Remake!

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.

Death Race

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.

Death Race 2000 all the way! That's your classic cult film. From the previews, I don't think I would get much out of this new Death Race, Statham or not.

But I will most likey watch this when it gets to cable.
