Rated R for graphic violence and language
Starring Jason Statham, Joan Allen, Tyrese Gibson, Ian McShane, Natalie Martinez
Jason Statham stars as a former race car driver Jensen Ames who was framed for the death of his wife. The warden (Allen) tells him she'll cut him a break if he helps her out - the masked favorite of the televised super event Death Race (which is said to have more viewers than the Super Bowl) died and they need someone to put on the mask and be him for the upcoming race. If he wins, she'll give him his freedom back, allowing him to return to his infant daughter. If he doesn't help, she'll see to it that his daughter is placed in a foster family, never to know of her father, and he will serve out his sentence in jail. He reluctantly agrees to participate.
While it is a remake of 1975's "Death Race 2000," this movie is all about Statham, cars, carnage and fast paced action with supped up race cars. It was highly amusing and fun to watch though!
