Death Race 2050 is about a government-sanctioned race to help with population control. Competitors race and score points for murdering people with their car.
Death Race 2050 is written and directed by G. J. Echternkamp. There are many directorial flaws that people learn in film school. The writing is laughably bad. Here's a quote from one of the more idiotic characters Jed Perfectus "Why can't they see me as I see myself? A kind gentle soul imprisoned by abs of steel." Echternkamp has directed other films, but after watching this I doubt I'll look forward to them.
Manu Bennett plays Frankenstein in this film. He's not really recognizable for the regular movie going audience but I remember him from Arrow (Deathstroke) and The Hobbit trilogy where he played Azog. He's the better actor in a film with a bunch of nobodies.
The only exception to those nobodies is Malcolm McDowell who probably got the highest paycheck for this film. He's kind of known for doing these bad movies and doesn't seem to care. He plays the crazy chairman and general bad-guy.
I enjoyed Death Race. I did not enjoy this. It has become worse since the first remake and I don't think the owners of the property care.
Result: F (I wish I could get back those 90 minutes)
