Death Race-A to Z challenge

 

There comes a time in every year that you just want to see a Jason Statham movie or 3.  That bug hit me due to catching the tale end of transporter 2.  So I watched crank 2 and that was horrible, so I checked out Death Race.  This is a remake of a Corman flick from back when Corman hadn't completely sold out.  Yes, there was a time.  His stuff was still low budget but it was higher quality "B" stuff. 

Anyway on to the Death Race movie.  Was it Statham playing Statham?  Yes!  Was he driving cars in a silly yet exciting manner?  Yes!  For the ladies:  Does he take his shirt off?  Yes!  Was the movie predictable?  Yes!  Did I enjoy it?  OH HECK YEAH!  It was just what I wanted (shirtless is take it or leave it, but...).  Statham knows his audience and he has fun doing what he does.
