Convicted cop-killer Carl Lucas, aka Frankenstein, is a superstar driver in the brutal prison yard demolition derby known as Death Race. Only one victory away from winning freedom for himself and his pit crew. Death Race 3: Inferno is a film that wasn't mean't to be taken serious and yet somehow it has some cool twists in it's pocket, Luke Goss who does a great job in the main role and the rest of the cast also makes a great job too. The action sequences have a point and some of them are insane alongside a well made soundtrack. Overall Death Race: Inferno is not meant to entertain everyone but some will definitely have a good time. (8/10)
In Death Race 3, the Wayland corporation suffers a hostile takeover by some very rich and evil guy, but because he's also very smart he's got a British accent. He wants to turn Death Race into an international series of races at a bunch of prisons all over the world.Meanwhile Frankenstein is one victory away from gaining his freedom. But Niles (that's the new guy) changes the rules of the game. If Frankenstein wins, he dies. Niles moves Frankenstein and his crew to South Africa where the next multi-stage race will take place. The jail there is some sort of working mine as well.During the first couple of stages Frankenstein indeed decides not to win, but for the final one he'll have something up his sleeve.The races themselves are alright, we see lots of interesting scenery and the racers will have to deal with the locals as well as missiles that Niles shots at them whenever he feels like it. There are plenty of fights and lots of neat explosions, but dialogue is something the director can't and won't deal with. Not to mention that at the times the script is pretty painful to have to listen to.This is one of those movies where at the end you get a recap of how the solution was accomplished. It's interesting but because you don't really care about any of the characters, including Frankenstein, it's almost like it doesn't matter. There is a story here, lots of action, lots of cleavage but only a split second of nudity, the director just doesn't manage to get us involved in any of it.
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.
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
