the key to enjoy this movie be in your expectation . after see car with gun and a wide array of other bamf weaponry attach to them in the trailer and i do not expect death race to have much depth . i go in hop to see the lovechild of the fast and the furious and mad max and and i saw just that and i love it . there be plenty of thing in this movie that normally would have annoy the crap out of me and but give it a lot of leeway make it a hundred time more enjoyable . the acting be and dare i say and somewhat decent for a paul w. s. anderson film . the actor give the performance they need to give and while still have fun with their role . the cold and awkward acting that plague resident evil and avp be keep to a minimum here and if at all present . jason statham be the typical tough guy protagonist and while joan allen be the usual one dimensional villain . they play their part well and as do the rest of the cast . death race be pure escapism . and and oh and be it fun escapism . this be the first anderson film i have see that i have be absolutely satisfied with . it never try to be anything more than what it be and it show the audience everything they want and expect to see . if youre not into add action and gore glorification and this one ain not for you . otherwise and catch this one in the theater while you still can .
