Lack of good storyline.

Absolutely brilliant

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Don't be put off by the IMDb score, or any negative reviews, this movie is a more than worthy successor to Death Race 2, and has earned its place in the franchise.Lots of subtle humour, stylish action and surprisingly memorably characters, all combined with sufficiently varied and suitably over-the-top set pieces make this feel more like a cinema release than a direct-to-video offering.Sure, the plot gets a bit silly at times, and there are clichés and stereotypes liberally scattered throughout, but I still found the new setting, the new (if often short-lived) characters and the tidy wrapping up of the story arc to be effective and entertaining.Dougray Scott shines as the enthusiastic antagonist, relative unknown Jeremy Crutchley provides a great Russell Crowe-esque caricature, and even Luke Goss manages to steal some good moments.All of the actors look like they're having lots of fun, and I too thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Dig it up and give it a go. Watch all three movies back to back for the full experience!

I do not even know where to start.This can only be "generously" classified as a major debacle.I just don't know what to say................I began to watch this with my usual suspension of reality, but it was only 5 minutes into it that I realized that I needed to get drunk real quick if I was going to last for another 20 minutes or so.After 20 minutes I went into brain freeze and decided to keep it on for the background noise. I suffer from tinnitus.If you want to put aside some time then give me a call. I have better home movies then this piece of c _ _ p!Please do not see this travesty. If you do.....you were warned.

Death Race 3: Inferno was directed by Roel Reine, the same director as Death Race 2. It is a sequel to the prequel but still a prequel to the original which is a remake of Death Race 2000 (a classic!) I enjoy them all! As a Death Race movie, it has all the ingredients: beautiful ladies, sweet cars, guns, explosions, twists. But this time, the race goes to the Kalahari Desert. Great move! It was refreshing to have a new environment. It provided the opportunity to mix things up, add some warlords here and there, maybe cliffs, other stuff! Watching Frankenstein and his signature car rip around always rocks.The same cast from the previous 2 entries in the series have also returned (the ones that make sense, anyway). Danny Trejo is always fun to watch. Tanit Pheonix is gorgeous and awesome. Luke Goss kicks butt, he rocks as Frankenstein. Ving Rhames is super cool. Dougray Scott plays Niles York, the baddie of the picture. He is one-dimensional, hammy, incredibly unlikable, couldn't wait for something to happen to him yet I enjoyed watching him do his thing. All the actors seemed to be having fun and it's contagious.Sure, there's some editing issues (ex: navigator battle), bad acting, poor dialogue, plot holes, but hey, I loved it! It was fun, fast, ridiculous, entertaining, over-the-top, and knowingly so. There were some neat surprises throughout the movie, definitely at the end. Won't spoil it but I'll just say it all kind of connects in an interesting way. The makers of DR3:I have an obvious passion for these movies. An effort was made here like with the previous ones and I respect that! If you like Death Race or any other ridiculous, over-the-top, kinda movies, I recommend this one.

Admitting to being fan of the original Death Race released in 2008 starring Jason Statham and Joan Allen doesn't exactly put me in elite company. Hell, I even enjoyed (to a much lesser degree) the sequel, Death Race which swapped Statham for Luke Goss in 2010 and went straight to DVD. They were mindless action films, but there was some valued entertainment it be had amongst the car chases and carnage.The same cannot be said for the third entry titled Death Race: Inferno. In this installment, inmate Carl Lucas (Luke Goss), or Frankenstein as we have come to know him, is but one win away from gaining his freedom via the Death Race sweepstakes. But behind the scenes wrangling of the Death Race rights from Death Race 2 show runner, Weyland (Ving Rhames) to the corrupt – OK, more corrupt – Niles York (Dougray Scott) there is foul play afoot that may negate any chance Lucas has in becoming a free man. So as the race moves to an international location, Lucas and familiar members of his pit crew, Goldberg (Danny Trejo) and Lists (Fred Koehler) will go through the motions while masterminding a way to come out of the whole mess as winners.Whereas Death Race and Death Race 2 were both mindless action, Death Race: Inferno is simply mindless. Luke Goss is definitely no Jason Statham. He has 99% less charisma and even less acting ability.That noted, Goss is given nothing in which to work with here. The dialogue is inane, the fighting sequences are boring and unfolding plot had my decision to not watch paint dry in my garage in lieu of this screen in a frightful mistake.Director Roel Reiné seems hell bent on appeasing his teenage target audience with car flips and explosions all put to slow motion and loud rock n roll music invading our ear drums. Dougray Scott's character is about as deep as a newborn's bathwater. His actions and dialogue were laughable while he reacts to events unfolding on television screens around him.Danny Trejo looks almost embarrassed to be part of this project and all other drivers in the Race are disposable actors who are intended on keeping a body count at a teenage acceptable level.Not all is terrible. There is at least one kill that was worthy of a hand clap and there is some humor to be found – particularly in the television narrators descriptions. But all these fine points accomplish is move Death Race: Inferno from a No Star rating up to a single twinkle.www.killerreviews.com
