Hi Jake,

I checked out the trailer and although it might visually be impressive (heavily armored muscle cars buffed with all kinds of weapons that Bond would be jealous of), I have a feeling it would leave a lot to be desired.

According to the internet, it is a remake of Death Race 2000, which has a huge following (Sly Stallone fans, mostly). I have seen enough of these movies to last a life time!

I am a fan of Jason Statham, but I think I'll wait for this one to come to DVD.

Thanks for 'warning' us with the trailer! ROFL!

Hi Max!

As you can see, I didn't mention it was a must see! LOL!!!!

I'm a fan of his too, and most of the movies he's been in are entertaining to say the least!

Some more previews should be out soon. And I'm hoping it would be interesting enough to check out, even on DVD!

Thank you Jake!

I wasn't aware of Jason's new movie. I checked out your link and was confused to what the plot was all about!

Please don't explain it to me either! LOL!!!! If I can't figure it out in a synopsis, I'm not going! :-D

I REALLY want to see this even if it is just a smash-up-bang-up movie. The cast is very high-powered, and I am hopeful they will raise the bar. Jason Stratharn might be better known for his action movies, but I thought he gave a great performance as an unlicensed boxing promoter in "Snatch" (ignore the title; it's a very funny British movie about underworld people vying for a large diamond). Joan Allen is a super presence (I felt she was under-used in "Bourne Ultimatum") and I have been jonesing for an Ian McShane movie ever since "Deadwood" got cancelled.

I saw the trailer when I went to see Wanted. I love action movies, to the point where most my girlriends roll their eyes in confusion and even perhaps a little pity.

Jason Statham is great, he's had a few misses though, but then who hasn't.

So it's a bit of the Good the Bad and the Ugly. On the good side: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch,Transporter, The Italian Job, etc.

On the Bad and Ugly side: Transporter 2, In the Name of the King; now that was a riot, though I don't think it was meant to be a comedy.

I've not seen a Stallone movie since Rambo 15 and Rocky 300, so I missed Death Race 2000.

That said,I just might wait for this one to come out on DVD or this can be the guinea pig movie my friend sees to let me know if its worth the ten smackers.

Vincent, good to see you. You have a way of making a movie sound interesting! I agree with you on the Joan Allen comment. She was not utilized as much as she should have been in the Bourne Ultimatum. What a waste. She's brilliant. I take it that she's a villain in this movie which takes her to a whole different level.

Jason, as I mentioned on a prior post is very entertaining. His screen presence really captures you. Lock, Stock and two Smoking Barrels, The Bank Job, and of course Snatch. I did see In the Name of the King, and disagree with some statements in reviews.Even though Statham seemed to be out of place, the 'comedy' was an undercurrent for the film.

Statham has picked up a huge following, and hit or miss, he is this generations hardest working and newest action hero.

Also worth mentioning, I have the Deadwood series on DVD. A must for Ian McShane fans.

Hey Assassin,

Thanks for the compliment. I haven't been able to dedicate as much time to the site as I would like, but luckily there are people like yourself who write well, have a great memory for movies, and make insightful comments. I loved Deadwood, and also think that Ian McShane's role as arch-criminal Teddy Bass in "Sexy Beast" was outstanding (second only to Ben Kingsley's very un-Gandhi performance in the same movie)
