The Story: Ex-pro racer Jensen Ames has just been convicted of murdering his wife, and is being sent to the most vicious prison in the country. How very convenient for Warden Hennessey to have another driver to compete in her prestigious Death Race
This is Jason Statham’s best movie. He looks amazing, kicks major butt, and totally nails this role. Like most of the other movies we like, Death Race’s casting is perfect. Tyrese is a total badass as Machine Gun Joe; and Joan Allen has ice water running through her veins as Warden Hennessey. All good movies hinge on their casting.
Nevertheless, we love DR for its gut-wrenching, no holds bar action. The things that they blow up and the way they kill people is amazing. The fight scenes alone are more intense than the usual Statham film. Now don’t worry, there is a plot and it will make you want Statham’s character to kill everyone that stands in his way.
This is by far the best action movie ever.
