Death Race

Rating (1-10, 10 being highest): 7.5

Quick Rating: (skip, watch, watch when no other choice): Watch it

Story Line: Jason Statham as an inmate in a custom armored car and races to kill.

What's good: Nonstop car race and shooting through car armory action. Natalie Martinez as his navigator is hot. Tyrese Gibson as Statham's main race opponent poses credible threat and meanness.

What's bad: Joan Allen as the warden is not as mean as I perceive. Not much to pick on. Maybe it is a little too fast for Natalie Martinez to falls in love with Statham.

Bottom line: Watching this movie is like being part of car race and killing video game. As a typical guy, I like the action, the setting, the nonstop adrenaline and Jason Statham is back in his Crank like mode.
