insane fast and furious x fury road collab. wildly entertaining ride.
George CarmiSep 6, 2026My favourite Paul W. S. Anderson film by far. It’s an adrenaline fuelled rampage. Akin to the future film Mad Max: Fury Road, the vehicular combat is so grounded with real cars, every hit and explosion feels incredible. Casting Tyrese Gibson and Jason Statham? They knew…

Action!: Anderson, Anderson, Anderson.... Andersson? - The Nerdy Paul You know your car stunts are awesome when you have to end with a disclaimer encouraging people not to try this at home. So this has been a movie I’ve skipped my entire life, even when channels like…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineDec 19, 2021My favorite theater reaction isn’t from a Marvel or Star Wars movie, it’s actually from this B-movie action remake where Jason Statham grabs some dude’s head and slams it into a metal vise. I can still hear the crowd pop to this day. Also two characters say Merry Christmas…
Bryan EspitiaSep 6, 2026this is one of those films you don't watch for depth, but for raw, chaotic entertainment. death race delivers exactly that: over-the-top violence, cars loaded with weapons, and a bizarre but intriguing prison setting. it's gritty, loud, and ridiculous-but in a way that…

19oldboy91Jan 5, 2026I have a car crash fetish. Vanessa has a Jason Statham fetish. Death Race is the ideal movie to watch together. The loving couple we are! I have to say this one is particularly brutal.
Yves BouwenJul 1, 2026Prison Hunger Games. Ah, 2008. When hot girls got slow-motion entrances set to Mary J. Blige.

- Randy is "meh" onDeath Race
Boring 🥱🥱🥱
Carla Hengen likedDeath RaceThis is a huge guilty pleasure. It was never supposed to be this good, but I don't know, all my abilities to make a reasonable and clear review of this movie go out the window cause every time I watch it I have the time of my life.
Ivory Uk. lovedDeath Racewatched for the plot (natalie martinez) her coming out of that car in the end in slow motion does something to me!! Oh my days she’s everything!! I just love seeing Tyrese and his bald head🧑🏿🦲❤️
- Simone Sammartino lovedDeath Race
veramente un bel film , ho perso il conto delle volte che l'ho visto. certo non è un capolavoro della cinematografia ma personalmente è piaciuto e consiglio la visione almeno del primo
Chaos likedDeath RaceInteresting concept, having criminals compete for their freedom but with car racing. I enjoyed it, don’t think I’d watch again because it’s a movie that I feel would be forgotten.
Jen lovedDeath RaceReminiscence of The Running Man this is just a fun cheesy movie with all action and not much more but that’s really all you need. Plus it’s Jason Statham who can do no wrong. 😁
- Carson Rhyne lovedDeath Race
Ive been on a “terrible movie” kick lately, and I don’t know what i was thinking when I included this movie. I guess the actors and premise, but i was damn surprised
Marcus likedDeath RaceGreat cast, few turns, just a good movie. Title says it all. Man is wrongly arrested and forced to race in an obviously rigged death race and we learn how and why.
UTKARSH DOSHI lovedDeath RaceWatched it years ago on cable TV when I was a kid. It looked very cool back then. might have to rewatch it again only because of Jason Statham.

Metacritic
Anderson has neutered the original film's outrageously transgressive macadam mayhem and completely stripped the story of its pointedly political social satire, making this Death Race one of the most boring drags of all time.

OK, so no plot, really.
