Jason "Hey I look badass behind the wheel of a car" Statham stars in yet another hollywood movie remake. The first one was pretty awesome, funny and filled with awesome action scenes. Part two ... well it did good and was just as entertaining as the first film. They dont really bog down the movie with plot. They bog it down with action scenes and squishy death. At the opening of the movie, we are treated to a bullet filled start. Sets up the premise and look of the movie with out any words. I also think they got the star of the first film to reprise his voice in the opening as it sounded really close to him. I wont do any spoilers for the film, but the crash scenes are among the best since The Road Warrior/Mad Max. The Dreadnaught was a suprise even if you saw it in the production stills a year or so before the film was released. Violent for violence sake, awesome awesome awesome stuff!

To be honest, when I saw the trailer for this movie, I thought it was going to be crap. Out of all the bullshit hollywood remakes and 'hey it was a cartoon in the 80's, lets make it into a movie' films, this one suprised me. So I recommend seeing it if you can, or at the very least pick it up when its released on DVD, and if you can find it, get Death Race 2000 with David Carradine.
