In the Drift - Death Race

Honest review.....! This is the worst movie i've seen this year. Not worth even one star!!!!

1 star because I couldn't give it less. Crap film crap ending cheap cgi. Using lines from fast and furious. Poor, really poor

Turned the movie off after 20min... Acting is bad and the camera footage form the "racing" is terrible.. looks like they race in 20Mph

Firstly, the name is a selling point, but nothing like the Fast and Furious, nor the Death Race franchises.

The plot is that a millionaire puts on an illegal race from Mexico to L.A. with people betting on the race. It's not a comedy tho, just that same betting poll seen in Rat Race. However no one who places any bets is seen and it can become very confusing to pick up on this. Three drivers have been selected and for some reason some supposedly legendary drivers brother has been reeled in to owe a lot of money to the guy who puts on this race so he can get him to enter his race and make some bigger money. With a bunch of kidnapping and blackmail going on, the main guy enters the race and ends up meeting his Frog along the way who is the millionaires ex girlfriend and needs to get to L.A. with a flash-drive containing evidence to take the millionaire down. Now the main driver has everyone trying to kill him to get the girl, except for those at checkpoints. Will they get to L.A alive?

The film has a lot of stupid plot points to get this guy to drive, and the motive is explained, but blink and you'll miss it. I can see why other reviewers are saying "where's the plot?" What's most likely happened here is the film ran over budget, and they edited together what they had, with key ex machina scenes not filmed, and the climax completely ruined and rushed with what they could film quickly to just have something to end on.

Had this film explained itself better and had a decent ending, it would be pretty good. But what it is is a film that was ok up till the very end with a god awful way to end the film.

Overall, I wouldn't bother. It will just leave you disappointed like you wasted your time watching something half decent only to feel in the end like the movie took a dump on you and ran away.

DMX did the best acting and isn't an actor. The movie started with a good storyline but then got confusing. Then DMX side kick I was confused on what accent she was doing. The weird lines that seemed to just come out of no where. Jack (main character) lacked acting and definitely didn't convince me as the bad ass that they were portraying him to be. Then the line about I live my life a 1/4 a mile at a time. Really?!? Yall just going to steal Vin Deisel line like that?? 😂😂 Terrible! I guess the writers just ran out of story and then just abruptly ended the movie.
