Death Race

Straightforward, no nonesense, plotless, mindless killings, blood spills, explosion, tonnes of ammunitions used. It was definitely a B-grade movie but an entertaining one. Jason Statham as Jensen, was a past race car driver whom trying to make ends meet but still living happily with his wife and baby. All these till his wife got murdered and he got framed for it.

Of course a setup and as expected he went to "Terminal Island", a prison where inmates are selected to perform car races of their life. The year was 2012 where the US prison systems was maxed and ran privately for profit. Thus, the idea of "Death Race" came up and inmates will race in cars that are fitted with "Desert Storm" machine guns and missles, defensive systems like oil, smoke and spikes. And cars are retrofitted with all the metal parts you can used from the "Transformer" movie.

Each race comes in 3 stages and stream "Live" on the internet where viewers pay $$$ to satisfy their cravings for blood, explosion and dead people. Jensen got the deal of his life when the "Tau Eh" Hennessey by Joan Allen, offered him his freedom if he was to win another race. But he must so called be the character "Frankenstein". Some inmate who had been racing and suffered so much facial injuries that he need to wear a "Texas Chainsaw" mask.

He agreed but soon found out that another racer killed his wife and it was Hennessey who gave order. And also that no one has never win 5 races and walked out alive.

Must mention was the girls that accompany the racer during race days, they act as some kind of advicer. They are from another female only prison.

Natalie Martinez, stunningly gorgeous was the one for Jensen. Initially ordered by Hennessey to make sure the any "Frankenstein" inmate do not win the 5th race, but did helped Jensen got out.

9 or 10 racers started but one by one got killed in various total annihilated way. And Jensen worked with another race Joe and managed to escape eventually. Not bad for a $7 show. 7/10
