Death Race bombed!

[cheez avenger]

After they pretty much show you the whole flick (in the trailer), including important plot points, it deserves to flop.


Jason Statham seems to "crank" out a steady flow of material, none of it has been spectacular as of late.

I'll rent it.


The other flick that's on my radar, is Rightous Kill, and even that movie gives up a major plot point. The only reason I'm still seeing it is, because of Robert Dinero and Al Pacino actually working side by side.

I had a bad feeling this would happen. I will still pick up the blu I'm sure. No theatre viewing though.

Wait, this movie came out? Seriously? Just goes to show how much I was paying attention....

Ugh, Paul Wet Shit Anderson deserves to have every film of his bomb.

It seems like it was a poor week at the box office for all movies

[ben1080p]

eh. I'll still go and see it. But if you wanna talk failures the Rocker only brought in 3 mil.

Statham needs to develop a personality in movies before i'll watch more of his crap.

*MAYBE* as a digital download.... *maybe*

Watch the Transporter Series. That's honestly the best stuff he's done outside Guy Richie's Lock Stock and Snatch.

Gee....I wonder why.

Sometimes, somedays, you just have to give Johnny Public SOME credit. I say kudos for the all the non-idiots that avoided this movie.

Statham needs to stick to movies like Snatch. Im surprised he even has any movies in theatres now.

Couldnt agree more. Although I enjoyed Bank Job as well. Still not near as good as either of those.

I haven't seen yet...though I own it.

[project-blu]

Statham was good in Snatch, too. don't discount Snatch. Revolver was par, but he did ok

Was there ever any doubt?

You can imagine the studio meeting now.

Hey I know.......lets take a not particularly good 1975 B movie.....lets remove the one thing about it that its fans thought was interesting (scoring extra points for killing civilians)....lets give it to probably the crappest hack in Hollyweird (who credits include D.O.A. , Aliens vs Predator (with which he managed to kill two franchises at the same time), Soldier and Event Horizon)......How can we possibly fail.

This guy really should be renamed Paul W.T.F. Anderson
