Review of Death Race 4: Beyond Anarchy

To begin with I have to talk about how little it continues from the others apart from lists and Danny Trejo who if someone told me did this movie for zero pay and just so he could be in scenes with naked women I would not be surprised it is quite amusing to see him do his thing. But this movie is seemingly separate from the others I say this because of Frankenstein either luke goss Frankenstein went absolutely made and became an evil murderer and got a different voice or it's another psychopath with a mask I wish it'd tell me but i can go without story a story which is paper thin for cool action and boy does this movie deliver. The action is well shot and put together I'll admit there isn't enough death racing for an almost 2 hr flick but it's pretty brutal and doesn't feel low budget. My favorite thing about this movie is the setting it feels like a mixture of Mad Max, Escape From New York, Borderlands, fallout 4 and a bit grindhouse, it has a great almost apocalyptic setting with proper good looking sets and vehicles unlike the other which didn't fully capture the dystopian vision much. So that's the good the action and cool setting now the bad obviously the plot is kinda pointless the acting is a bit better than luke goss era but it's still not good, the film really does oversexualize women like it thinks the only way to draw an audience is to have naked women in every scene it wastes quite a lot of scenes just for this purpose now if the female characters in this film were just maybe a little bit developed you could forgive it even fast and furious has women in it who are actual characters not just eye candy or damsels in distress with zero character I think there's one interesting woman in this movie who isn't oversexualized and she has very little dialogue or screen time but this is getting a bit preachy so let's get back to all the attrocious things about this movie the fact that it's like 20 mins too long and the terribly generic soundtrack they seem to fill a decent amount of the movie with metal which is a great choice but the rest of the soundtrack is so generic. As a final note id like to ask why there's rarely any bullet marks on the cars when there shot it's attention to detail that makes movies good. Donald Glover is great in this movie also. Total rank 7 just better than the last one must better than 2 much much better almost on par with 1 but that's got Jason statham in it so it gets a wee few bonus stars.
