"Death Race" is an update of Roger Corman's 1975 "Death Race 2000", which starred Sylvester Stallone and David Carradine.
This time Jason Statham is behind the wheel.
Framed for the murder of his wife, Statam is sent to prison and forced into a "drive-til-you- die" race by warden Joan Allen.
Film critic Jeffrey Lyons says "Death Race" is a case of "what you see is what you get" that features pulsing action, bust-out violence and crunching steel that won't let fans of such movies down.
