paul w. s. anderson doesn not disappoint . death race be his goriest film since event horizon and definitely right up with his most impressive look film . compare to some of the more serious film he make ( shopping and event horizon and soldier ) death race perhaps fall behind in it substance but make up for it in texture . the driving sequence be vary and colourful to watch . the atmosphere be excellent and the fact that the movie doesn not take itself too seriously help you accept the film ludicrous setup . the gore definitely also make the movie stand out but luckily not in a bad way . all the paul anderson trade mark be here represent the look and the sound and even the slightly over the top dialogue . where the movie manage to pull through definitely be the closure . the casting also prove interesting and satisfying and the performance luckily have a little bit more colour to them than in some of anderson past film . death race be an interesting and action pack film with enough serious weight behind it to keep the film more ridiculous aspect from distract the view experience . if anderson be look to make a great homage to a cult film and he do it and but he also manage to crunch out one of my personal cinematic highlight of the year .
