WAY to violent for my tastes. The entire movie was pretty much people dieing in really gory ways. I'm sure tons of kids would love this but I'm not one of them. I also know that most parents would definitely not want their kids watching that kind of violence. Bad language is constantly heard throughout the move.

What Parents Need to Know
About Death Race
Parents need to know that this movie is a non-stop series of graphic, violent action scenes, with lots of blood and some gore. Although it's based on '70s exploitation film Death Race 2000, this movie forgoes the original film's over-the-top satire in favor of even more-over-the-top action. The film's authority figures -- a prison warden and her guards -- are uniformly depicted as corrupt, brutish, money-hungry thugs. The main character is in prison for killing his wife, which he didn't do; at the same time, he racks up a substantial body count throughout the film in his quest for vengeance. Also expect plenty of strong language, plenty of car-related product placement, and some drinking and smoking.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the idea of the Death Race itself -- what point does violent entertainment stop being entertaining? Is the idea of a live, pay-per-view to-the-death gladiatorial event ludicrous or unnervingly ahead of its time? Families can also discuss the cultural history of gladiatorial games, from the Roman Empire's death matches to more "civilized" events like mixed martial arts today. What's so compelling about watching people fight?

Over-The-Top Mayhem at its Very Best!
I love this movie! Sure, it's got some flaws, but I don't expect this movie to win Oscars. I expect it to entertain me, and it did so... with a bloody vengeance! This is an awesome action-packed thrill ride. It literally overflows in gooey blood and action sequences so over-the-top, it will make your mouth grin with delight and your body fill with guilty pleasure. Lose your mind for two hours and enjoy!

The race doesn't leave you dead.
Death Race is a fair movie, I only say this because there's not much of a story here, except that he's put into a prison for a false crime, but if you want to see R rated fun go for it.

Death Race
Pretty good, some plot holes but some will find appealing. Very violent and gory. The title implies what happens in the movie.

Not for young kids
The movie itself is pretty violent. It is pretty gory and violent, and the profanity level is also pretty high. I'd say that depending on your child's maturity level, Death Race is a good movie for kids about 13 years and over. The sex level is really low, only goes to a view of Jason's Statham's butt in one scene and some women revealing clevage. There is also a warning at the end of the movie saying that all the stunts were performed by professionals and stuff, but then again, it depends on whether your child is mature enough to understand the warning. Still, I found it was a very good movie.
