Cool looking movie, I like that Transporter guy, he gets a lot of good roles. Death Race starring Jason Statham (Transporter, Crank) and Joan Allen (The Bourne Supremacy, The Notebook) premiers in theaters nationwide this coming Friday, August 22nd. The movie is Rated R for strong violence and language. The plot for Death Race is an ex-con is forced by the warden of a notorious prison to compete in our post-industrial world’s most popular sport, in which inmates must brutalize and kill one another on the road to victory in a car race. This movie brings back memories of The Running Man, in which Arnold Schwarzenegger was wrongly convicted and forced to play a game show, only he was trying to survive a public execution. Even though there were no cars used in The Running Man, Death Race seems like it borrows on the same idea.
