Ok, let me get the bad stuff out the way. It is very violent, (yes you do see a man's head get smashed by a car), yes there is bad language, and the movie is entirely set in a prison. But, the plot is very good, you will see! And the entire movie is filled with thrills - you will not anticipate anything that happens.
I say, enjoy! But, small children, beware!
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.
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.
