Death Race Movie Download In Hd-----------------------------------------DOWNLOAD: http://urllio.com/r2s2c -----------------------------------------In 2012, amid economic chaos and high unemployment, Americans watch by the millions as criminals with life sentences race armored cars on Terminal Island. Two-thirds of the combatants die but the winner may earn his freedom. On the day he loses his job, steelworker Jensen Ames is arrested for his wife's murder. Sent to Terminal Island, he's offered an out by the steely and manipulative Warden Hennessey - race as the popular mask-wearing (but now dead) champion, Frankenstein, or rot in prison. Jensen makes the bargain. As the three-stage race approaches, he realizes that the whole thing may be a set up - can an anonymous man behind a mask get revenge and win his release?Ex-con Jensen Ames is forced by the warden of a notorious prison to compete in our post-industrial world's most popular sport: a car race in which inmates must brutalize and kill one another on the road to victory.If you are looking for escapism fun, you've come to the right place, Death Race! When I saw the opening I was a little bit into it not knowing what was playing on a friends TV. Then the opening credits started and I saw Roger Corman's name prominently displayed about 4 times, even though he probably had little to do with the film, it was still cool. And some plot loopholes started to flash to me, like if the USA is in such dirt, and people are making $150.00 a week working 60 hours, how can 75 million afford a $250.00 pay per view? And why is a wimpy guy sidekick in this prison for hard core offenders? Well, the Death Race itself soon made me forget about all of that (and thankfully, it comes up very quickly), because it was a lot of fun to watch. How Twisted Metal does not get any credit for inspiration beats me, but Twisted Metal is one of the few video games I played all the way through and this was definitely a Twisted Metal movie more then a Death Race 2000 movie! After watching this I want to go re-watch Death Race 2000 but my memories of it are that it was kind of lame and definitely Corman low budget cheesy. After watching about four Jason Stratham movies and loving all four I'm definitely a big fan, the guy knows how to pick movies that guys like to watch. For pure escapism fun with fast cars and trucks and lots of weapons, good villains, and a cool good guy, Death Race delivers the goods, 10 of 10.There has always been a trend in Hollywood to go back and remake classics, but the term "classics" is loosely defined between critically acclaimed movies and those which we just have a hell of time watching over and over again, sometimes re-coined as "cult classics". Fans of both good and bad films raise their respective hands in horror and disbelief every time another remake is greenlit, while others furrow their brows in confusion as to what inner voices compelled movie execs to take on that particular film update. So here we are again, witnessing the results of nervous hands reaching back into the annals of film history for something to bring back, something to put new wrapping paper on and re-gift to a whole new audience. Happy Birthday, Movie Fans; It's Death Race! The original film, Death Race 2000, was produced by legendary film icon Roger Corman, who also acted as one of the producers for the update as well. It was yet one more notch in the belt of an already stellar B-movie career, which included gems like The Little Shop of Horrors, Dementia 13 and Big Bad Mama. Another tidbit the former Death Race had on it's side was the performances of Sylvester Stallone and David Carradine as Machine Gun Joe and Frankenstein respectively. Both were big names already, with Stallone only one year away from the stardom of Rocky, and these two actors lend a huge amount of camp value to digging through the DVD rental racks just to discover this timeless story of pre-eminent road rage. You might be thinking to yourself, without those two actors, how can this remake hold up? Well, the answer is simple, find a younger actor who can seemingly play absolutely any character with a car and a bad attitude: Jason Statham.
For those who have been living under a rock for the past ten years, Jason Statham is one of the most under-appreciated action stars of our generation. Launching himself to critical appeal in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels in 1998 he cemented his career moving forward by getting cast as the kung-fu thrilling, one liner spouting and impossibly precise driving lead in The Transporter. His trail through the movie ranks has been a tad wobbly at times, like his starring role in Uwe Boll's In the Name of the King, but no one can fault him for striking while the iron is hot. Statham continues his streak in this flick with a heap of glaring shots through broken windshields and stare down moments after taking unbelievable punches and kicks to the head. The only piece missing for the true Statham fan is a distinct lack of martial arts, which makes sense on the story side of things, but I still wished for one good spin kick, ridgehand chop to the neck or even better, a homage to the greased pig fight ala Transporter style.
Surrounding our steely-eyed hero are a couple of people worth mentioning. Ian McShane, who is most recently known for mercilessly killing and beating people down in the Old West town of Deadwood, plays Coach, the institutionalized leader of Statham's pit crew. Tyrese Gibson brings his own version of the stone cold glare over to play as the new Machine Gun Joe, which for one reason or another the new writers decided to make gay. Joan Allen takes a striking departure from her usual fare and turns in a stereotyped performance as the fiendishly powerful warden of the futuristic prison where the Death Race takes place. To get a literary glimpse into her role, picture her performance as Pam Landy from the last two Bourne films and turn the bitchiness up three more notches. Lastly, rounding out the cast, as well as her wardrobe, is the film debut of the dangerously curvy Natalie Martinez as Case, the navigator in Statham's rolling wagon of destruction. The eye candy in this flick just got a little spicy.
The movie gives you exactly what you expect, fast cars, loud guns and explosions one after another. There are a few really impressive stunt sequences and the realism of the shots seemingly prompted the studio to put up a disclaimer at the end of the film to make sure people don't go home that night and try to mount mini-cannons on the hood of their Honda Civic. One of the main things I can attack about this flick is not the movie itself, but the trailer. The first trailer to hit the screens was way too long and showed each and every plot twist. Admittedly, you don't sit down for this with popcorn in hand expecting to be dazzled by well written story elements, but at least give the movie a chance to hit on all cylinders (oh hell yes, car references get me bonus points in this one).
Recommendation: It's not bad for the die-hard Jason Statham fans and road rage enthusiasts, but for the genre it lands in, I might lean towards the recent decapitation-fest Doomsday. The theater experience is only going to help this one out, so hit up a matinée if you're feeling the fire for it.This new version has absolutely none of the distinctive tongue-in-cheek black humor that was the keynote of its model and the trademark of its original director, Paul Bartel.Death Race is a remake of the 1975 film Death Race 2000 (1975) with a new script written by English director Paul W.S. Anderson. It is not based on the 1976 arcade game Death Race, which was inspired by the 1975 film. It isn't exactly stated when Death race takes place. It is stated in the prologue that in 2012 the economy collapsed and that before Death Race there were Gladiator type battles. So it can be assumed that it is at least a decade after the Cage Fights started which was probably around 2015, so we can assume this takes place in 2025. In the DVD commentary, Paul W.S. Anderson describes the original concept as a "reimagining" of Paul Bartel's Death Race 2000, so in that sense it's a remake. However, David Carradine's voice cameo as Frankenstein at the beginning of the film suggests that it could also be seen as a sequel. Anderson also says that when he was making the film, he thought of it as a prequel to Death Race 2000, showing how the Death Race began in a prison before it went on to become the cross-country race seen in Bartel's film. However, the film can't literally be a prequel since it takes place an indeterminate time after 2012 and Death Race 2000 is set in (of course) 2000. Or it could mean that it was the 2,000th race and has nothing to do with the year. (1) Jensen Ames's Ford Mustang, (2) Grimm's Chrysler 300C, (3) 14K's 1988 Porsche 911, (4) Colt's Jaguar XJS, (5) Riggins' Buick Riviera "boat-tail" (early 1970's), (6) Carson's Pontiac Trans AM, (7) Siad's BMW 7 Series (E32), (8) Pachenko's 1966 Buick Riviera (chop top), (9) Machine Gun Joe's Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Pickup, and (10) "The Dreadnought" is a Peterbilt Tractor with a modified tanker trailer. The electric kill switches are in the weapons. All they do is deactivate the weapons so they can't use them to escape. "Warmest regards, your monster." The R-rated theatrical version was not cut to obtain the rating. The unrated edition extends some fights and action scenes and runs more than 4 minutes longer. In the film's prequels Death Race 2 (2010) and Death Race: Inferno (2013); we find out that the original Frankenstein was Carl Lucas who was horribly burned in a crash. However, advancements in experimental plastic surgery eventually managed to heal Lucas and give him back his face. He later escapes from prison along with his co-pilot and pit crewmember. But not before framing the cold-hearted and tyrannical Company Man Niles York who assumed control of Death Race. York gets horribly burned in a crash caused by Lucas in which it's announced that Katrina and York were killed. However York was only horribly burned and Lucas and Katrina had escaped. Lists confirms York is Frankenstein and so he is forced to don the mask and compete in the races. It's likely he was the one killed on the track in the beginning of this film. a5c7b9f00b https://www.causes.com/posts/4969517 https://www.causes.com/posts/4969519 https://www.causes.com/posts/4969514 http://www.mazeikiugyvunai.lt/en/news/view/id/285909 http://www.mazeikiugyvunai.lt/en/news/view/id/285921 https://www.causes.com/posts/4969516 http://dayviews.com/prefedlas/526826217/ https://www.causes.com/posts/4969513 http://telegra.ph/Reign-Torrent-09-18 http://braktorthephi.blogdiario.com/1537286979/
