Ex-con Jensen Ames (Statham) is forced by the warden of a notorious prison (Allen) 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.Am I an idiot for actually wanting to see this? I know it will be as dumb as possible but it's cars with guns and trashy prison whores, plus explosions - surely Paul "Watery Shit" Anderson can't screw this up too badly.
This sure sounds a lot like Death Race 2000. Is it supposed to be a sequel or a remake?

At least they actually made it an R-rated movie. This thing had PG-13 written all over it.
Still don't really care to see it. Maybe on HBO or something.

I won't ever download a movie from a cam in a theatre. That's beond retarded.
DVDrip? Maybe. I'd just whether wait and watch it in HD on one of the movie channels.

Re envisioning. The first was a race across the country while this takes place in abandoned areas. I'm looking forward to it b/c they are trying to go for the old school car crashes. Little to no CGI. Like Stunt Man Mike said "Real people crashing real cars in to real things"

I'm most likely going to see this in the theatre. I like all the people that star in it, and like RedBeard said can't go too wrong with cars, whores, guns, and explosions.

I saw it a while ago and enjoyed it. But then again, I have a soft spot for the film. I visited the set last year.
It looks like a good fun summer movie. Popcorn flick.

I thought the new monster was pretty fun. But then again, I have a thing for Mustangs.
The ad for this makes my brain hurt, but it could be fun

I wonder if we will ever get a Running Man II. Similar premise and would be in the same vein as the latest Stallone remakes.
Well I enjoy a movie where I can shut my brain off and just enjoy the babes and cars with what I would assume will be a fair amount of cool deaths. That said, I'm not going to pay much more than a few bucks at most for this. I do want to see it.

What the fuck Metal Gear is about stealth espionage not a damn race.

You mean Twisted Metal. Late 90's video games with the word "Metal" in the title were a sub-genre, I guess you could say.

This movie even looks like a video game that would get released nowadays. Everything's all gun-metal grey and dogcrap brown.
I just got back from a midnight showing...
For what it is, this movie rules. A lot of action and fun, explosions, etc. It's what you'd expect. If you're expecting "Citizen Kane", well, stay home.

Okay, so what you're saying is, this isn't "Citizen Kane"? Because the poster featuring an armoured truck fitted with guns led me to believe this would be a bio-pic about a 1920s newspaper man.
No, my point was if you're expecting a cinema masterpiece, it's not for you. Because I know there will be the toolbags who shit on this movie because it is what it is.

He was always haunted by that vivid childhood memory, when he ran over his first pedestrian. It was a happier, more innocent time, when you could kill a man with wheels, not rely on the stifling modernity of a side-mounted flamethrower.

When I was on set for this, I snuck a photo with my phone of the Death Head plate. Pretty fancy.

I have some WD-40 with a skull on it. Does that also make me cool?
If I ever become a super hero, that plate will adorn my chest. Much like Punisher, but not.
