There are a few hints of social commentary in Anderson's script - Hennessy notes that her event has "more viewers than the Super Bowl" - but Death Race doesn't linger on satire, choosing instead to get to the burning rubber and blazing guns. Anderson has made plenty of mid-level, low-budget, high-concept action films, but he seems unusually inspired by Death Race the race sequences are well shot, and the film's giddy, guilty-pleasure action scenes are big, bold, and brutal. It’s cinematic junk food, sure, but the big dumb fun aspect and the expert action sequences made it easy to dismiss the cold critical heart in this reviewer’s chest and forget that critics are supposed to hate exploitation films like it. There's some nice slumming going on within the supporting cast, too, with Oscar-nominated actress Allen ( The Contender, The Bourne Ultimatum) playing the diabolical warden and Ian McShane ( Deadwood) playing Coach, the head of Jensen's pit crew.ĭirector Paul W.S. Movie Review of ‘Death Race 2’ (2010) Not everyone may share the same opinion, but this reviewer immensely enjoyed Paul W.S.
The ending of Death Race 2 is real good and I think ends neatly. Nonetheless, Death Race 2 is still very entertaining for fans, but don't expect too much. Any troubling questions of logic or sense will be drowned out by the roar of the engines and the guns, and Statham's low-key action-hero presence makes it easy to watch him. Death Race 2 isn't as good as Death Race because of the story, the action sequence and stunts, and the chemistry between the leads aren't as good as in Death Race. The film serves as a prequel to Death Race (2008), is followed by a sequel Death Race 3: Inferno (2013) and was released directly to video on 27. It is the second installment in the Death Race film series.
