La carrera de la muerte 3: Infierno

"Death Race: Inferno" is an Action - Sci-Fi movie and the third movie of the "Death Race" franchise, in which we watch Carl Lucas, aka Frankenstein being only one win away from his freedom.

After watching the second movie of the franchise I have to admit that I did not have any expectations by this movie. I was surprised after watching it because I actually enjoyed it. The plot was mostly the same as in the two previous movies but there were also some differences. The interpretation of Luke Goss who played as Carl Lucas was good and in this movie he made the difference. In addition to this, there were also some other interpretations that have to be mentioned such as Danny Trejo's who played as Goldberg, Tanit Phoenix's who played as Katrina, Dougray Scott's who played as Niles York and Ving Rhames' who played as Weyland. All in all, I have to say that "Death Race: Inferno" is a nice action movie to spend your time and far better than the second movie of the franchise.

"More cons, more cars, more guns. Sky's the limit." Once again Frankenstein (Goss) is one race win away from freedom. This time though the race has changed. Instead of being inside the prison another man has bought the rights and is taking it global. Fighting in his crew and other deals being made make this a harder race then usual. I have to admit that I do like these movies as cheesy as they are. I loved the first one and enjoyed the second one OK. I may have to re-watch that one though because I was a little confused to start this one. I thought some of the people that were in this died and the plot lines didn't seem to match up. Then the race started and I realized that it didn't really matter, the plots of these movies are just background to the racing and violence. To me that is OK. Much like the other two this is not an award winning movie and acting is iffy at best but it is still very entertaining and well worth checking out if you have seen the others. Overall, not as good as first but fun and exciting to watch still. I liked it. I give it a B+.

Luke Goss returns from the second film as the heroic convict in a future world where prisoners must race each other to the death (with the world tuning in on PPV, natch). He replaced Jason Statham's character (who clearly has better things to do) thanks to a convenient gimmick. Both of them raced under the handle "Frankenstein," wearing a metal mask supposedly hiding their hideous facial injuries. The gag comes from the Roger Corman original, but it holds up well, and we accept Goss as our new go-to guy with only a minimum amount of plot exposition.

They also find a new hook for the race itself, after a corporate sleazebag (Dougray Scott) buys the company in charge of the whole thing. (Ving Rhames shows up to collect a check as the former owner, supposedly outfoxed in a subplot that no one need pay any attention to). Goss's Frankenstein soon finds himself shipped off the South Africa, home to a new Baja-style Death Race that the company eagerly wants to use him for. His pit crew Lists (Fred Koehler), Goldberg (Danny Trejo) and Katrina (Tanit Phoenix) come with him, and soon find themselves embroiled in the usual intrigue surrounding the race. The end of the film sets up has an attempt to make another Death Race film.

Don't be put off by the IMDb score, or any negative reviews, this movie is a more than worthy successor to Death Race 2, and has earned its place in the franchise.

Lots of subtle humour, stylish action and surprisingly memorably characters, all combined with sufficiently varied and suitably over-the-top set pieces make this feel more like a cinema release than a direct-to-video offering.

Sure, the plot gets a bit silly at times, and there are clichés and stereotypes liberally scattered throughout, but I still found the new setting, the new (if often short-lived) characters and the tidy wrapping up of the story arc to be effective and entertaining.

Dougray Scott shines as the enthusiastic antagonist, relative unknown Jeremy Crutchley provides a great Russell Crowe-esque caricature, and even Luke Goss manages to steal some good moments.

All of the actors look like they're having lots of fun, and I too thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Dig it up and give it a go. Watch all three movies back to back for the full experience!

Slang-bang, moving sequel with plenty of action and amusement . It is a grindhouse pleasure that will appeal to saga lovers due to a lot of action, thrills, chills and emotion. It is set in a nearly future, there in South Africa develops the ultimate sporting where contestants get score point for running drivers down, a futurist international sport with plenty of violence in which pilots contend for hitting other vehicles. Meanwhile a powerful organizer : Dougray Scott buys the broadcasting copyright of the violent competition to Ving Rhames, as the car race is televised by pay per view and presented by a beautiful host called Satana. As Frankenstein/Luke Goss is given a new opportunity to have his reward. As he is attempting to survive the dangerous and bloody competition by pitting other nasty drivers to get his purports.

This is a nail-biting sequel with lots of noisy action, violence, fights and breathtaking car crashes. It is a high-octane fantasy thriller and another routine follow-up, repeating similar premise than previous sequels. As we have the skillful driver Luke Goss accompanied by a gorgeous co-pilot, Tanit Phoenix Copley, participating at the stirring and amazing race, contending with other heinous and ominous participants. It is made in brainless and rudimentary masculine fashion, filled with macho men and sexy, bomb-shell girls. Stars the tough and two-fisted Luke Goss, he is assisted by a passable support cast as Dougray Scott, Danny Trejo, Tanit Phoenix, Frederick Koehler, Robin Shue, among others.

The film written, produced by usual Paul W. Anderson, was professionally made by Raoul Reine, though with no originality, being a simple rip-off similar to former entries. Here Reine doesn't reach nowhere the satirical impact and playfulness of the original film.

He also directed a grean number of Tv episodes in the popular series as Black sails, Knightfall, Redball legend, Inhumans.
