Death Race is a remake/homage to the fabulous Roger Corman produced B-movie Death Race 2000. Unfortunately this new Death Race is not as fun and certainly not as funny as the 1975 film in which points are scored for hit and runs. Gore and violent death are depicted with exquisite care in this movie, but it’s just not that much fun. Some will like the cars and the driving scenes which are well done and must have cost a pretty penny to produce. Maybe I’m just a cynic, but you just don’t care about any of these characters and so just don’t care who wins or dies. Jason Statham is an OK actor and we should feel bad for his situation, but I just couldn’t. What really turned me off about this movie was the disclaimer at the end admonishing us not to attempt any of the stunts depicted in the film. What lawyer convinced them they needed to have that in there? Or was it a clever Corman gimmick to make us want to do something stupid and blame the movie and create some publicity? I don’t care. If you want to have fun, find a copy of Death Race 2000. It’ll cost less than the ticket to this Death Race.
