Yes, that is an actually line from Death Race, Universal's (surprise!) remake of the 1975 classic, Death Race 2000. Whatever made the 3 time oscar nominee Joan Allen utter this confusing, slightly awkward line must have a high monetary value because this movie was about as deep as a paper plate. Where the movie fails in just about every way possible in terms of back story and sincerity, it more than makes up in raw, twisted, kick-you-in-the-throat carnage. Jason Statham plays his typical pissed-off, out for revenge role (ahh, remember the good ol' days of Snatch. and Lock Stock? No? Well apparently Statham's agent doesn't either) and succeeds with every snide british remark and crack to the jaw. Tyrese plays the too cool for school Machine Gun Joe and is rewarded with hilarious lines that rival 2 Fast 2 Furious (sadly he won't be in the 4th installment of the series).
Death Race is basically a real life Twisted Metal (Playstation) and will give fans of fast cars, violence, and Cuban women just what they're looking for. It's a typical action movie, but one that'll give you quite a few "Holy Sh*t!" moments. The death scenes are as creative as they are intense and the races themselves would make any NASCAR fan need a change of shorts. It certainly won't be a classic but for what it is, a hard core, YEAH MOTHERF$#&@^! type flick, it's pretty good. Good enough for your dollar and most likely to be played quite often on Spike TV.
