Has anyone seen the preview for this new movie? Saw it a few days ago, IMO it doesn’t look bad.

Here’s a trailer…

They already told you he’s gonna be framed

I like Statham movies, but this one’s gonna suck more than a Guatemalan hooker :🙂

Doesn’t look too exciting.

The plot was already given away; you know he will win one way or another like he does in every movie (Even Crank, there is a sequel coming out); they will use Transporter two style CGI to add visual effects even though it takes away realism.

I’ll pass.

The original Death Race movie I saw in my auto tech class. It was in my top 5 worse movies of all time list since the first 20min.

This one might be OK, and I’ll prolly see it in the theater.

Vlad: This won’t have Transporter 2 CGI in it. And it’s not like they write the script around the actor, the actor acts around the script, so don’t count all your chickens before they hatch.

Just from the preview alone it’s obvious that the cars defy physics laws.

Nuff said.

Every good actor has some bad movies, this will be one of them.

I can’t wait to hear from somebody that went that shares my tastes in movies.
