(1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 41% Rotten Page   1   "a balls-to-the-wall tank-ful of amiable idiocy, fast-paced enough to keep anyone's eye on the road."   Little White Lies   Anton Bitel 3/5 "Like big steaming chunks of charred animal flesh, or a fleeting glimpse of a gal's ample cleavage, Death Race taps into something very primal (and very male) about the action movie experience."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron F "The remake takes everything that was imaginative about the original feature and reduces it to an ear-splitting energy drink commercial, topped off with some of the worst filmmaking decisions to be found at the multiplex this year."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf B+ "Satire and spectacle are balanced perfectly in this cynical and sexy thrill ride."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 3/5 "Yes, it's a big ball of stupid, and yes, it's pretty damn fun."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 1/4 "Low-rent, boring, brazenly mindless garbage."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D+ "A testament to the incompetence of Paul W.S. Anderson, who has never made a good movie and apparently isn't about to start now."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 0.5/4 "We're in for a bumpy ride on Anderson's Bi-polar express where the line between homage and ripoff is never as blurry as his action sequences. His Ben-Hur chariot race would have needed nothing more than one set of horses, a couple human heads and a wheel."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress 1.5/4 "A painful imitation of Roger Corman's cross country racing flick sans the intelligence, disturbing violence, entertainment value, energy, and... well everything else that makes movies good..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. F "Loud, vulgar and stupid, but what's most amazing is that despite all the bedlam, it will probably either bore you to tears or send you into gales of unintended laughter."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "Statham's films never promise to be something they're not or offer something they don't provide. Death Race is not an exception."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "Death Race roars, rages and races down the track, all velocity and visceral violence, unencumbered by logic, sense, reason or dignity."   Cinematical   James Rocchi 6/10 "Click here to read review"   vj.net.ua   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 3.5/10 "Despite all of the action, fists, gunfire, explosions and more, it ends up just driving in circles, constantly banging into the uninspired barriers of mediocrity before crashing in a heap of bad filmmaking."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 1/4 "Paul W. S. Anderson's noisy, nonsensical remake fails to hold together even in its own paper-thin world."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito B+ "The real charm, if you will, comes to the high-octane action in the racing segments. And it is here that the film is quite simply awesome."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr C+ "...should give fans of the genre just what they're looking for."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "[T]he only thing deadly about it is how dull it is..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "A serviceable, forgettable genre film marked by leaden performances, even more leaden dialogue, a few sterlingly gruesome images, and a supremely campy performance from Joan Allen."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1/5 "Even though the original film was made more than 30 years ago on a short schedule and a miniscule budget, its scenes of car-based carnage are actually more exciting and cinematically inventive than the messes on display here."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "Basically, it's a videogame masquerading as a movie, but the action scenes are so loud and messily edited that they're tedious rather than tense. If it weren't so incoherent, it would be a classic."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/4 "Mmmmmm... it tastes like sleaze."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   Rob Vaux 3.5/5 "It's the kind of easy target that most film critics enjoy savaging, but I choose to look a little more closely at movies like this. Empty-headed and powerfully familiar, yes, boring and poorly-made ... no way."   FEARnet   Scott Weinberg 1/5 "exists so critics will have something to put on their year-end "Worst Of" lists."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell "Death Race is cartoonishly brutal and pleasantly disreputable."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 4/10 "Utilizing an inane, effects-driven script, it's filled with brutal, blood-splattered vehicular mayhem."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 4/10 "The best of all Paul W.S. Anderson's films, although how much lower we can set the bar, I don't know."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 1/4 "Paul W.S. Anderson makes one kind of movie: the shitty kind."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 2/5 Read review   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick  (1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 41% Rotten Page   1
