Death Race

So a few quick words on Death Race, my netflix movie. Somehow this movie made it to my queue (I suppose of the sorts positive reviews I've heard and Jason Statham certainly helped) and also somehow made it towards the top. I pegged this movie as clearly a B movie with total ridiculousness and I approached it cautiously and didn't have very high hopes going in. I have to say that I was kinda surprised and did kinda enjoy it. It still was overall a mediocre movie, but certainly better than I had planned. The action sequences and races were cool but certainly over the top. Most times, I could predict about what would happen, and they certainly killed off a major antagonist way too soon. The ending mini twist worked, but feel it didn't surprise me too much. I mean, I guess it is kinda hard to root for criminals to break out of jail. The blu-ray had some crisp visuals to see all the gritty racing and had a great audio soundtrack. (Although I know that recently especially Dolby and DTS are supposed to be somewhat equal, but it always seems I am more impressed by movies that feature DTS audio.) Overall, I was surprised by the results and did enjoy the film, but probably won't remember it.
