I had the misfortune to see this film last night. Even by the mediocre standards set by Paul W S Anderson this one is shockingly poor.
It appears as though Anderson decided to just recast and re film "Death Race" all over again. Matt Goss tries to keep his embryonic Hollywood career going here but he defeated by almost everyone else involved. Sean Bean turns up for a quick cheque, but there's no effort anywhere. Danny Trejo must be wondering why he accepted this job - surely he can't be this desperate.
Anderson beats all the clichéd character types until they bleed. All the black actors are employed simply for an ability to look angry and shout "nigger" everywhere. All the women are topless sluts.
It's just same old, same old. They even reused the same sets and cars they had in the first one. The whole thing must have cost them $200 to make, and $150 of that must have been Sean Bean's fee.
I never thought I would see another film in my life to rival Battlefield Earth and Lost Souls as the worst ever, but Anderson makes a very good attempt here. If I had paid for the ticket last night I would have been very disappointed. As it is I'm wondering if it possible to sue the studio for two wasted hours of my life.
Utterly, utterly shocking. 2/10
