Writer/Director Paul Anderson (MORTAL KOMBAT) has created this dark, hip, urban story of a barren and anonymous city where the homeless underclass' sport of choice is ram-raiding. An exciting game in which stolen cars are driven through shop windows to aid large-scale looting before the police arrive. For Tommy, it's a business, but for Billy and Jo, it's a labour of love. As the competition between Tommy and Billy grows more fierce, the stakes become higher and the "shopping" trips increasingly risky. Starring a young Jude Law and Sadie Frost, and king of the TV voice-over Sean Pertwee.

Post - Eighties Pop Promo
A pop-video of a film with great big shoulder-pads of style over the merest crumb of content.
I had forgotten that Brit-Eighties movies were like this. A blast from the past and enjoyable for the nostalgia vibe alone; just don't start questioning the assumptions that the film makes.
Good to see the early work of some of the UK's best film talent; Jude Law, Sean Bean, Sean Pertwee; the latter two particularly under-used.
Sadie Frost's Northern Irish accent is abysmal. -

Death Race
- 19 Sep 2008
No one is about to mistake the output of British-born action director Paul WS Anderson for his namesake, Paul Thomas ‘There Will Be Blood’ Anderson, but he’s had a few commercial hits (Mortal Kombat; Resident Evil; AVP: Alien vs Predator) to offset some stinky reviews (Soldier; Shopping). He also gets a little extra credit for writing his own screenplays. Ostensibly this is a remake of Roger Corman’s low-budget black comedy Death Race 2000 (1974), in which David... Read more
