Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):
1.By 2012 the US Economy is completely ruined (guess it doesn't matter who you vote for)
2.Prisons are packed thanks to spiraling unemployment and crime
3.Private corporations run the prisons for profit (Serious business, as there's no money left for a bail-out)
4.Terminal Island Prison runs pay-per-view death races as a fund raiser, using inmates to drive cars tricked out with weapons and armor plating
5.There are no rules except if Warden Hennessey (Joan Allen) says there are
6.Jensen Ames (Jason Statham) is framed for the death of his wife
7.Hennessey makes him an offer he can't refuse
8.He becomes a man in an iron mask, with a killer car (literally), a female navigator (to boost PPV ratings) and a pit crew led by scene stealing Ian McShane.
9.Lots of stunt driving, shooting of big guns and explosions follow, although you really can't tell who's shooting at whom for most of it
10.People die
Typical shoot `em up action movie involving high speed racing in armored cars and lots of bad guys, but with plot holes bigger than those left by the armor-piercing RPG Model 7's.
Statham plays his usual tough guy "Transporter" role, and Tyrese Gibson does everything but sing the Coca Cola jingle as arch rival Machine Gun Joe. They throw in a little inspirational family story to soften it up a little, and a teensy tiny little budding romance with dialogue like:
Jensen Ames: [while driving] Get on my lap.
Case: What?
Jensen Ames: Get on my lap!
Recommended for Statham fans and action movie buffs, but I can't see this one going down as a classic for all time.
Jensen Ames: [to Hennessey] You wanted a monster? Well, you've got one.
