Death Race

THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!

alot action.. kinda like twisted metal if you can remember tat once famous PS game.. where u r in a vehicle and u gt weapons like missiles and machine guns.. damn cool..

e first scene is very interesting.. it has this paragraph that sort of intro when e movie is based on.. it states year 2010, and the US economy falls leading to high unemployment rates resulting in rising crime rates. As criminals get very high, prisons cannot support e outstanding number and soon some prisons are taken over by e private sector..

and as a private sector, obviously they wanna make money.. so they have these matches where criminals fight each other to death and will be streamed online.. and audience appetite grow and soon they have this thing call Death Race where they use modified cars armed wif big machine guns and missiles and thick shields..

a man who gt very good driving skills gt sabotaged so that he can end up in jail to take over a deceased driver who was apparently e highlight of e race.. this is such tat can boost the ratings and viewership and more money can be earned by e company..

its a v interesting plot to me.. because it actually make use of some issues which are happening in e real world, like how privately owned company are onli concerned abt money making, and how badly e society will be affected if economy collapsed.. and there is also e issue of exploitation in poor economy although its in e front few scenes..

esp this line from e factory worker which i tot strikes me abit.. the factory is closing dwn and they are getting their last pay.. they gt e option of hard cash or cheque.. but given tat the company is collapsing, whu wud go for cheque.. and when they ask for cash, all they gt was like 300 bucks for a few months of work.. as the workers stays in e factory area grumbling, e riot police was called in.. and this worker said.. we are working as honestly as you are and we are just asking for our rightful pay, what are u guys doing here.. and this spark of a mass melee..

very interesting... but den e rest are jus actions, lots of driving and fire power.. looks as if we are playing a game though.. not too bad a movie..
