“This is the story of a solidly middle-class African-American family that reunites for Christmas for the first time in seveal years. Ma’dere (Loretta Devine) is the Matriarch who’s Los Angeles home is where the vast majority of the story takes place. As with any family gathering there are topics that are best not discussed. When they are discussed here they end up in fights -verbal or physical (an excellent sister-on sister catfight stands out here). One sister is encouraging the siblings to sell the family dry cleaning business and split the profits. One bother is running from loan sharks. One brother is AWOL from the Marine Corps and One sister has brought along the man she’s dating at a historically Black college. Despite what the trailers and TV commercials may lead you to think this is not a warm syurpy comedy. There are dramatic moments, violence and course language. It is however very much a slice-of-life that not enough hollywood features present. This family, warts and all, is definitely not a hollywood feel-good film with blackfaces. It is authentic in it’s portrayal of themes facing African-Americans in particular but Americans in general. ”

I heard so many great things about this movie. Anything from the humor was great to the action never let you stop looking. Well these are both partially true. The humor in the movie for one was good and tasteful, unlike the “butt” humor you would find in Harold and Kumar. It was clean enough also that even kids would be able to watch it with no problem what so ever. Now on to the action. It was good but nothing like you would see in a die hard movie or transformers. The action had a “humor” or “comedy” feel to it which was great for this type of movie. I would recommend this movie everyone especially as a family movie. So get out and buy it if not rent it.

The title pretty much says it all. There certainly is a lot of death in the movie. Having seen many Jason Statham movies i must say this one is up there with the transporter. The action in the movie was insane and never ceased to amaze me. The plot behind the movie could have been strong but for a quick action film it was great. The acting in the movie was spot on in for this type of movie and made you laugh or cringe when they wanted you to. I say this one is a must see for action junkies or Jason Statham fans.

“Within four years from 2008 the economy of the United States has fallen into disaster, Unemployment and crime rises, and private corporations run most prisons across the nation for profit. The movie focuses on the Terminal Island Prison, which broadcast “Death Race” to the world via a popular paysite on internet. Death Race is not only a race to the finish line, but a battle pitting car against car.”
