i will cut right to the point . death race and seem similar to the game twist metal on playstation . yes the character also use weapon and and car that the every day consumer tend to drive . nothing really ground breaking in what i have say so far . this movie doesn not attempt to have any crowd rising epiphany or such a twisted plot that it doesn not seem to capture u . although and some of the speech make by joan allen character be questionable consider she be address convict . nevertheless and the movie be design to be a source of car action entertainment . it be similar to the movie shoot em up with clive owen . purely unrealistic entertainment and that my friend be the beauty of this movie . it nice to be able to sit in a theater and have a few chuckle and watch some mind boggling car chase or crash and have a sense of where the story be go . i go into the movie with little to no expectation of how good the movie would be but purely a a source of entertainment and and fascination of car functioning . if you get a chance to go see it with a group of friend definitely do it . it not a movie you want to watch alone .
