Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
i must have seen a different film!!
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I didn't quit watching a movie for a long time, but I quit watching this one after 15 minutes. Both the director and the writer should look for another job. The movie starts so stupid that it dumbed my IQ by at least half in a record time. Everything looks bad; the riot in a prison for example... I have seen more believable girl fights than the fight of those inmates. Dialogues are painful to listen... one criminal telling to another things like "I trust you always". Robbing a bank looked like they are going to rob a candy store, and after the cops showed up, the driver didn't even bother to tell that information to the guys inside.Stupid movie... avoid like a plague!
DEATH RACE 2 is a surprisingly entertaining little straight-to-video sequel to the Jason Statham starrer, itself a remake of a Roger Corman cult classic of the 1970s. I'd even go so far as to say this is as much fun as the first film, although it has only a fraction of the budget and only one returning cast member, as far as I can tell. For DEATH RACE 2 captives the vibrant, adrenaline-fuelled spirit of the first film and Dutch director Roel Reine, himself a veteran of a dozen B-movies, proves to be a better director than Paul W. S. Anderson.To be sure, this is far from a great film and it falls down particularly in regard to the actors, all of whom are ill-serviced by their parts. Luke Goss is nothing more than a dome-headed dunderhead, an obvious stand-in for Statham but one that lacks that actor's trademark intensity and scowl. Lauren Cohan fares little better as an overly-obvious arrogant journalist type, while Danny Trejo has virtually nothing to do in the stock role of car mechanic. The two big names present in the cast, Sean Bean and Ving Rhames, are particularly wasted, given roles which require them to sit around and do absolutely nothing else. Each has about five minutes screen time tops.Still, the screenplay is packed with violent incident, which is always good, and I like the way the smaller budget is disguised by having combatant vs. combatant fights early on instead of car chases. There's only one real chase here, towards the end, which is pretty decent, although I could have done without the laborious twist in which it turns out that well, you'll have to watch it for yourself to find out. Even with the many detractions, DEATH RACE 2 is a B-movie done right, with all of the high-octane action you could hope for.
The action scenes are about 0,5 seconds before each cut ... awful , epileptics will die watching this idiotic movie ...Maybe the director and producer think they made a really cool movie but the fact is it's complete rubbish ! I hope some day soon this way of making movies dies away and never returns and that people in the future will look back and laugh at these kind of movies.A piece of advice to the director and producers, buy a centrifuge, fill it with colored junk, let it rotate like crazy and then film it ... that movie will be even more cool than this ... Cool = faster, faster, FASTER FAAASTER!!!!!
Death Race 2 (2010) * 1/2 (out of 4) This direct-to-DVD flick is being sold as a sequel to the 2008 film DEATH RACE but it's actually a prequel and tries to show the early history of the man who would become known as Frankenstein in the following film. In this film, Carl Lucas (Luke Goss) gets sent to prison after killing a cop in a botched robbery and once there he realizes that a female wacko is filming death matches between the prisoners. When the TV ratings on this drops she decides to make it more interesting by offering a race to the death, which would give prisoners their freedom. DEATH RACE 2 has a lot of tough talk but the film never backs any of it up and in the end we're left with a pretty lifeless movie with no guts or glory. The biggest problem is that everything in this movie is pretty tame. This includes the story, the action, the violence and the blood. Now, I understand that the 2008 film was a "pretty" version of DEATH RACE 2000 but why on Earth would they deliver something so tame in this prequel? I mean, you know you're going straight to DVD so why not deliver something fun, wild and over-the-top? The filmmakers didn't even have the guts to show Lucas as a bad guy and just wait until you see how they filmed the cop getting killed. The producers wanted to make sure that you still liked this guy no matter what. Even worse is an incredibly awful love story that is thrown in for no apparent reason. There's a reason romantic comedies don't have bloody violence so the producers of this film should have realized that the people renting a movie called DEATH RACE 2 don't want romance. Goss isn't too bad in his role but he's really not given much to do. Ving Rhames and Danny Trejo both pick up paychecks, which they both deserve. The rest of the supporting cast is pretty much what you'd expect in a film like this. DEATH RACE 2 isn't a complete bomb but it's pretty useless and fails on most levels that should make it a fun exploitation film.
