Overview

Terminal Island, New York: 2020. Overcrowding in the US penal system has reached a breaking point. Prisons have been turned over to a monolithic Weyland Corporation, which sees jails full of thugs as an opportunity for televised sport. Adrenalized inmates, a global audience hungry for violence and a spectacular, enclosed arena come together to form the ‘Death Race’, the biggest, most brutal event.

Viewing Notes

This holds up so well. Love how OTT evil Joan Allen is. Tyrese is awesome as Statham’s foil. Great cast all around and definitely some money went into this. Watched the BTS featurette bc I wanted to see the chicken and broccoli bit again with Statham complaining about getting in shape and staying shape. Definitely peak physical condition for him.
