It was a good, mindless, car chase movie.  Just enough plot to string together a reason to have the chase sequences.  Frankly, that was fine with me.  I like Jason Statham is movies like this and Transporter. I&#8217;m not really generally very critical of movies; either I like them or I don&#8217;t, but in this case I thought the whole cast did really well in their roles.  The movies is a few fights, lots of car chases, and the &#8220;good guy&#8221; winning in the end.  I watched the Unrated version so I&#8217;m not sure how different it was in the theater, but there were a couple bloody\/gorey scenes, but they were not so bad that I was bothered by them. If you&#8217;re looking for a good action movie with lots of car chases this one is perfect.  Nothing to serious or sappy.  Just lots of racing and chasing.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/vaXqiDFVwX4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I watched Death Race last night and really enjoyed it.
