i always hate it when all those high class critic from the newspaper and journal bash a film for not be what they want it to be and not look at it for what it suppose to be . the title be death race after all . no one ever expect it to win any golden trophy in the first place . so what if the acting be a bit bland and the plot be a little weak . that not be the movie be suppose th be about . it not a martin scorsese film where you sit back and think oh and that be very thought provoking and i feel that i have truly learn something inspirational today . no . this be a film where you sit back and look at it and and think holy . do you see that explosion . this be a film where you have fun in . don not worry if you walk away with nothing meaningful to talk about at the end . go ahead and laugh at it stupidity . i guarantee you you will still have a much good time that watch something like capote .
