Sinopsis(1)
El tricampeón de velocidad Jensen Ames es todo un experto a la hora de sobrevivir en el desértico paisaje en el que se ha convertido el país. Cree haber cambiado de vida, pero el ex convicto es acusado de un terrible crimen que no ha cometido. La alcaidesa de Terminal Island le obliga a ponerse la máscara de Frankenstein, un favorito del público al que parece imposible matar, y le da dos opciones: competir o pudrirse en una celda. Con el rostro escondido detrás de la máscara metálica, el preso deberá sobrevivir a los tres días más terribles de su vida, enfrentándose a los peores criminales procedentes de las cárceles más duras del país si quiere salir libre. Al volante de un monstruoso coche armado con ametralladoras, lanzallamas y lanzagranadas, este hombre desesperado será capaz de destruir todo lo que se interponga en su camino para ganar el juego de masas más retorcido de la tierra. (Universal Pictures España)

Con un cierto intervalo de tiempo quiero escribir un comentario y descubro que no recuerdo casi nada de la película Death Race, lo cual suena muy positivo a su favor. De hecho, cumplió su propósito: entretener, relajarse, descartar y olvidar. Sin embargo, también existen películas de acción que no se olvidan y se convierten en asuntos icónicos...

Paul W.S. Anderson is quite an unpredictable director, you never know whether his next project will be good or really bad. This time things have fortunately worked well and Death Race is brilliant B-movie fun that might not be as mad as Doomsday, but it holds together a lot better. Anderson has made me happy this time, but I’m still not forgiving him for AvP.

A well-made B-movie with musclemen racing in cars that at last I wouldn’t be afraid of trying out on Czech roads. And Statham’s musculature again rekindled my desire to make regular trips to the gym a New Year’s resolution. Otherwise Mr. Anderson performed exceedingly well, everything about him was A-grade (B-movie A-grade), but he’s going have to try harder for me to be able to forgive him for Alien vs. Predator. And who would have guessed that Joan Allen as the warden would outdo all of those navigator beauties.

Paul Anderson teamed up with Roger Corman for a thunderous remake of the cult film Death Race 2000, in which death row inmates fight to the rhythm of driving guitars and music video editing. It's essentially a video game with all the trimmings (collecting weapons and shields), but this time we really don’t need our joysticks. That’s because the characters have descended from the posters of classic "racing games" and drive so fast you forget it even the inklings of a plot. Anderson has exceeded his own shadow and all expectations and made his most entertaining, perverted, and most importantly, best film, which entitles him to shake hands with Neil Marshall and kick the Wachowski's in the ass at the same time. PS: That truck destruction rivals Chris Nolan.

Anderson's unacknowledged adaptation of Carmageddon and the admitted remake of Death Race 2000. If Death Race were not so bitter and humorless, it could have easily competed with this season's B-movie king, Doomsday. Here, too, B-movie is synonymous not with a lack of craft, but with genuine entertainment. Albeit dumb entertainment (but not executed in a stupid manner), but at the same time stylish, energetic and constant, though somewhat repetitive.
