Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

lordhumble-40635 On the same theme i would recommend the dutch movie "Temmink". I fear there is even a similarity close to plagiarism....http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133228/. This one is better though. Mainly thanks to famous actor Jack Wouterse. It's harsh. It's brutal. And it spends more time and attention to the main character's doubts, thoughts and choices. Worthwhile, if you like this sequel of death race. Starring also Jacob Derwig. He could easily start a career in the US. And note the very tasteful depiction of the inevitable violence. As i'm forced to write a minimum of 10 lines, I'd finally say: Viva Holanda!

Dallas Aspinall Death race 2 is that of a prequel to the original whilst using 2 old characters to create continuity and a picture to use more continuity. Above all though the film wasn't that good their are several shots that seem out of place due to the reused first film shots and although it's meant to show us the origins of the death race it leaves us more questions than we had like why is the track different why do the cars look like the updated versions from the 6 moth gap from the first film. One of the best things in the film was when Marcus Kane was watching Death race 2000 on TV but even that is just leaving a plot hole. The acting is good the car scenes are brilliant and the deaths of the racers aren't reused and it shows unitive mostly with sheiks death. Overall the film is okay but has the a bigger budget it would have been a master piece.

matsqqqq The action scenes are about 0,5 seconds before each cut ... awful , epileptics will die watching this idiotic movie ...Maybe the director and producer think they made a really cool movie but the fact is it's complete rubbish ! I hope some day soon this way of making movies dies away and never returns and that people in the future will look back and laugh at these kind of movies.A piece of advice to the director and producers, buy a centrifuge, fill it with colored junk, let it rotate like crazy and then film it ... that movie will be even more cool than this ... Cool = faster, faster, FASTER FAAASTER!!!!!

Michael_Elliott Death Race 2 (2010) * 1/2 (out of 4) This direct-to-DVD flick is being sold as a sequel to the 2008 film DEATH RACE but it's actually a prequel and tries to show the early history of the man who would become known as Frankenstein in the following film. In this film, Carl Lucas (Luke Goss) gets sent to prison after killing a cop in a botched robbery and once there he realizes that a female wacko is filming death matches between the prisoners. When the TV ratings on this drops she decides to make it more interesting by offering a race to the death, which would give prisoners their freedom. DEATH RACE 2 has a lot of tough talk but the film never backs any of it up and in the end we're left with a pretty lifeless movie with no guts or glory. The biggest problem is that everything in this movie is pretty tame. This includes the story, the action, the violence and the blood. Now, I understand that the 2008 film was a "pretty" version of DEATH RACE 2000 but why on Earth would they deliver something so tame in this prequel? I mean, you know you're going straight to DVD so why not deliver something fun, wild and over-the-top? The filmmakers didn't even have the guts to show Lucas as a bad guy and just wait until you see how they filmed the cop getting killed. The producers wanted to make sure that you still liked this guy no matter what. Even worse is an incredibly awful love story that is thrown in for no apparent reason. There's a reason romantic comedies don't have bloody violence so the producers of this film should have realized that the people renting a movie called DEATH RACE 2 don't want romance. Goss isn't too bad in his role but he's really not given much to do. Ving Rhames and Danny Trejo both pick up paychecks, which they both deserve. The rest of the supporting cast is pretty much what you'd expect in a film like this. DEATH RACE 2 isn't a complete bomb but it's pretty useless and fails on most levels that should make it a fun exploitation film.
