What makes it different from others?
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Explores the origins of the first "Frankenstein" car driver, Carl "Luke" Lucas, who died in a race at the beginning of the first film. Death Race 2 replaces Jason Statham with Luke Goss best known for his work in Blade II and Hellboy 2 and he is quite fun to watch he is no Statham but he is doing his part quite good. The movie has some pretty good explosions, fight sequences and a lot of great car chases which surprises me a lot when it's a film straight to DVD and it actually looks pretty good. Although it's kinda slow until it reaches the 'Death Race' part it's still quite interesting and you really get into the story as a whole. You have Machete, a girl that looks like Megan Fox and Martha Wayne what else could you possibly want at this point? And it's definitely better than the ridiculous 1975 and 2017 films but not as good as the 2008 remake.
This movie is one hell of a ride from the beginning when we meet our main character to the end where he becomes Frankenstein, to the gorgeous navigator to the Savagery of the Death Match to the birth of this new type of combat from Goldstein and Lists (who I thought for longer than I should of thought his name was lisps) this movie sets up everything you want if you want more of the murder and deadly Death Race while setting up the legend that is Frankenstein which in the 3 movie is compounded on the legend, and the cruel but honest and fair business man of Weyland. And all of it compounding on Luke his family tiring to kill him the other drivers trying to kill him and the crazy host trying to make a quick buck off of him.
On the same theme i would recommend the dutch movie "Temmink". I fear there is even a similarity close to plagiarism....http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133228/. This one is better though. Mainly thanks to famous actor Jack Wouterse. It's harsh. It's brutal. And it spends more time and attention to the main character's doubts, thoughts and choices. Worthwhile, if you like this sequel of death race. Starring also Jacob Derwig. He could easily start a career in the US. And note the very tasteful depiction of the inevitable violence. As i'm forced to write a minimum of 10 lines, I'd finally say: Viva Holanda!
I must say this- This is the first time I stopped watching an action sequel just 50 min in. I really liked the first one, but this one was just awful.Let me tell you why: The story was boring, the action scenes were just like the first movie so nothing really to be excited for, no funny moments at all, and let's not forget the fact that THERE WAS NO FRANKENSTEIN !This movie was just filled with action scenes- whether they were pointless or just a copy from the first film. I didn't enjoy a moment from that movie, didn't either laugh or excited from what I've seen, and they replace some of most important cast members with boring cast members who took the ideas of the first film and told it like it's a brand new thing.
