Jason Statham stars as an ex-race car driver framed for the murder of his wife in a time where the economy in the world is shot and people in prison are being shot atlegallyin a prison where the ultimate winner is the one who can walk away from the track alive.
This is one "kick-a**" movie! It's been so long since I've seen the original that I can't even remember it (review on that film sometime in the future). I found myself glued to the screen, waiting for the next sequence to evolve, and I didn't have to wait long, either, as this film kept movingall 89 minutes of it! The only thing I have to say about the film is to cite the lead, Jason Statham. I think he's a little overdue to show some of his acting talent, as his main big-time films feature a car alongside him ("Crank" and the "Transporter" films in particular), but it's time to feature more than just his ability to beat someone up or beat them out using a car.
8 out of 10 stars.
