Chicago Tribune -
Nothing in director Paul W.S. Anderson's schlock drawer--prepares you for the peppy, good-time nastiness that is Death Race.

TV Guide Magazine -
It honestly delivers the goods without all the preachy moralizing about violent entertainment and cultural ruin.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer -
This new version has absolutely none of the distinctive tongue-in-cheek black humor that was the keynote of its model and the trademark of its original director, Paul Bartel.

ReelViews -
This movie is about mayhem on wheels, tough guys viewers can root for, and villains whose comeuppances audiences crave. That's what Death Race is all about and, for what it is, it does a solid job.

The A.V. Club -
It's the perfect end-of-summer film, and a sign that summer needs to end soon.
