Death Race

Jason Stratham is good at a couple of things. He's good at looking good, acting tough and kickin' the crap out of people. This movie was meant for Jason Stratham. The entire movie is made for the actors to look good, act tough and kick the crap out of each other. Pretty simple really. Jensen Ames (Stratham) is a tough guy with no real future. He works at the steel mill, but looses his job. The only real good thing he's got is his wife and kid (see where this is going?). After some unfortunate business he ends up in jail. Not only is Jensen Ames a tough guy, he also happens to be a race car driver, who happens to be an ex-con. I ask you - What could be better?! So, once in prison he gets to do what he does best - just in case you forgot, it's look good, act tough and kick the crap out of people. That is the scope of this movie - looking good, acting tough, and kicking the crap out of people. No brains needed. Check them at the door. Get in, hold on, and shut up. That's all this movie requires. Simple, just like Jason Stratham. If you like beat 'em up, shoot 'em up, kick the crap out of 'em movies - you'll love Death Race. If blood, language and the lack of any real storyline bothers you, don't waste your time.
