I have a problem with any movie based heavily on cars.
They always affect me a bit too much, and usually not for the best.
Heres an example:
After I sawGrindhouse, I sped all the way home.
Not just like a little speeding, I mean a lot speeding.
I had the highway to myself, so I just put the hammer down.
Not all the way, but farther than I usually speed.
After watching Paul W.S.
Death Raceacts as something of an anti-Fast and the Furious.
Theres no hyper-tuned whining 4-cylinder engine in the bunch, either.
Good fuel economy is for wimps.
I need a car that roars in my movies, not a car that whines.
Death Raceis a movie that roars as loud as its featured cars.
Not only does the film roar,it explodes a lot, too.

The US economy is in the toilet.
The first driver to win five of the eponymous Death Races wins his freedom.
Theres not a lot in the way of plot, mostly interesting-looking characters driving awesome-looking cars.

Step on the gas or get out of the way!
