Prime Video movie of the day: Death Race sees Jason Statham do dystopia in an action-packed smash-em-up
If you’re looking for a mindless, action-packed movie to watch this weekend, then look no further than Death Race on Prime Video.
The film is set in a dystopian future where the economy has collapsed and crime is rampant. In order to control the population, the government has created a new form of entertainment: Death Race.
Death Race is a cross-country car race where the drivers are armed with weapons and encouraged to kill each other. The winner of the race is the first driver to reach three checkpoints and then finish the race.
Jason Statham stars as Jensen Ames, a former race car driver who is framed for the murder of his wife. He is sentenced to life in prison, but is given a chance to compete in Death Race.
If Ames wins five races, he will be pardoned and set free. However, if he loses, he will be killed.
Death Race is a fast-paced, action-packed movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The film is full of over-the-top violence and vehicular carnage.
Statham is great in the lead role, and he is well-supported by a cast that includes Tyrese Gibson, Joan Allen, and Ian McShane.
