it be a future time and prison be now run by private company for profit because the economy go to hell . hmmmmm . and this future time be not far from now either . this be a good than average action entertainment or popcorn movie . the concept be one we have see a couple time of late about the ruthless greedy villain who manipulate a bunch of people into participate in some dangerous game or sport for internet viewing and profit . in this instance and a man be frame for the murder of his wife so that he will go to prison and participate in a death race . this movie be one of the best of it kind represent action entertainment . and to be fair folk and should be judge by that standard . the acting and the action be very good . it seem more like a guy flick to me and maybe not . there be a good look latina in it who play our hero driving partner . her act ability surprise me because at first glance she seem like she be just go to be eye candy . she also get behind the wheel and be impressive . i be think that all she need be a little martial art training and for someone in hollywood to give her a chance and she could be a really good kick as heroine . ( who doesn not like woman in snug outfit beat people up . ) the end also surprise me because it be shall we say and impersonal . i do not want to go into what that mean and spoil it for you . suffice to say that movie usually do not end that way . at first i be a bit disappointed and but then i say why not . do thing a little different for a change . anyway and put this one at the top of your to see and dvd list . no one be pretend and intend that it art ( in the snooty sense ) and it just pure entertainment . love and boloxxxi .
