Death Race (2008) by the DVD Man

Obviously the best thing about Death Race (2008) was that the first character named was: Frank (Frankenstein) and that he dies in the first scene and then Jason Statham takes his place and so then we have a dead Frank and a fake Frank for double your Frank fun.

Death Race is a good movie for people like the DVD Man who like stuff blowing up and lots of blasting and flagrant Jason Statham kicking ass and not taking any names. I watched this on BluRay DVD and it has some fun extras that were worth watching.

Not much of a plot (but this kind of movie doesn't need much) - Jason is framed because evil Joan Allen has to replace dead Frank to keep her Death Race money machine rolling because he's the big favorite. Ian McShane is good as a lifer who helps fake Frank fake out Joan Allen and escape along to finish off the small plot of him getting back his daughter. It's a very black and white movie in color with sharp lines between good and evil.

I give it a 3.5 Frank rating for blasting, explosions and 2 Franks. This was my Valentine's Day movie.
