Rat race

Threat advisory: Elevated - Significant risk of entertaining activities

Movie propaganda

Donald Sinclair (John Cleese) owns the biggest, snazziest, flashiest, high rolling-est casino in Las Vegas. And to entertain some of his wealthiest patrons he's created the most original high stakes game that sin city has ever seen! The contestants? Six teams. The jackpot? $2 million stuffed in a locker hundreds of miles away. The odds of winning? One in six. The rules? Well there's only one... get there first.

What the racers don't know is that the tycoon and his rich friends are betting on the outcome and that their every move is being tracked. There's greed, speed, and a whole lot of bad driving as the race is on for the six contestants who'll go to just about any extreme to lay their hands on the cash. But it's only a matter of time before they realise that they've been used, and they veer off on a course that sends them speeding towards a totally different kind of payoff.

Theatrical report

Cannonball run.

If you're too young to remember that film, Rat race is a flick about some people going from A to B to win a prize, having all sorts of wacky and zany adventures along the way. Being the new millennium, the moral of the story is that greed is bad.

Turn brain off, turn lowest common denominator on, enjoy.
