About
You’ll probably enjoy Death Race if you want nonstop, brutal fun and fast car battles without needing deep character work; Not for you if you dislike violent spectacle or want Resident Evil: Extinction-style buildup.
Pros: fast, loud action; gritty dystopia; entertaining racing | Cons: predictable plot; thin character focus; excessive noise
