28 Ways to Decide How 'Death Race' Looks to You
What in the hell is the masked dude all about?

Universal actually screened the upcoming Death Race down here in San Diego for Comic Con as the press junket will be held on Sunday, but I wasn't allowed to see it since I wouldn't be able to attend the junket to shill their flick. However, I did receive a free pass from an alternate source, but didn't take advantage. When a studio won't even allow you to see a movie unless you are interviewing their talent that is never a good sign. After all, me seeing it didn't mean I had to put a review up right away. Oh well, it's the Hollywood PR game and you have to play it…
Personally I think this mash up of Mad Max meets Fast and the Furious looks entirely ridiculous, but I also think there is a door open for it to be entertaining. I know everyone loves to rag on director Paul W.S. Anderson and they may have a point considering the likes of Alien vs. Predator and Mortal Kombat. However, I personally enjoyed Resident Evil and I know there are folks that enjoy Event Horizon so I think the hatred is a bit undeserved. A lot of it, I believe, stems from AVP considering the fan base and just how bad that film was, but even that film wasn't as bad as so many others I have seen.
Watching the trailer for Death Race it appears they give away the entire plotline, a traditional tactic in film marketing these days, but if you should feel inclined I have added 28 new images to the gallery for the film and you can begin by clicking right here or on any of the select thumbnails below.
Death Race hits theaters on August 22.
