Death Race aka Twisted Meal

[Eaglestrike]

The only movie Jason Statham has been in that I absolutely refuse to see was directed by Uwe Boll. I'll see this for sure, if only for Jason Statham, but it doesn't look like a bad movie for what it is.

QFT. I like Jason Statham. To me this is just Transporter (good movies) + Fast and the Furious (meh) with more people dying. Shouldn't be horrible, but probably won't win any awards but "great for a boring weekend" ones.

Depends on how they played this one. If it even attempts to take itself seriously, it's a fucking waste of hard drive space in the editing room.

However, if the plot and story are minimal, and the carnage and driving stunts are out of control, this has the chance to be what I call an "Oh shit!" movie.

I like Statham, and most of what he's done has been somewhat questionable, but the "Transporter" was a good flick. "Crank", for all it's story sillyness was entertaining, and who didn't like him in "The Italian Job". I got "War" coming from Netflix today, which I'm hoping has some good stunts in it as well, but when it comes to Deathrace, yeah... better not be a lot of exposition involved.

This looks ok. I would see it just for the action and nothing else.

What they said. How could a movie with this much shooting not be worth seeing? Heck, I'd watch a movie that was a 100 minute gunfight with no dialogue (except the occasional screaming and profanity) if the gunfights and explosions and other action was good enough

But maybe that's just me

I like how nobody mentions Lock Stock or Snatch when speaking about Jason Statham. Awesome movies, even if they are pretty much the same movie.
