Theatrical report

Hooray, another Jason Statham movie! I like his cool suave approach. He's a big man, who's got a heart of gold and knows how to look after himself without pushing anyone else around in the process. Concept of the movie was good, but I think more could have been done to develop the beginning and ending. The length was appropriate and the surprise within the race was not fully expected. Not too over the top and not too boring for the girls who go along to these films for the benefit of their blokes. If there are any men out there that do this, I've got no advice for you: you're not exempt from voting and I'll see you at Tribal Council.

I'm still hoping for a sequel or a remake to Blade Runner but this will tide me over for another 10 runs until the creative juices start flowing in Hollywood.

The action, crime, science fiction movie Death Race is directed by Paul WS Anderson and stars Jason Statham, Joan Allen, Tyrese Gibson.
