Futuristic action thriller prequel starring Luke Goss as a convict determined to gain his freedom no matter what it takes. In the near future, as the US economy begins to falter and crime increases, new prisons run for profit begin to appear. Terminal Island is one such penitentiary where a regime of brutal oppression reigns. Beginning his life sentence after killing a policeman, Carl Lucas (Goss) soon realises his only chance for freedom lies in entering and winning the latest TV show devised by unscrupulous producer September Jones (Lauren Cohan). In the last-man-standing 'death race', Lucas must battle it out against his fellow inmates in heavily modified vehicles designed to destroy anything that gets in their way. (Universal Pictures UK)

If I want to see a charismatic Luke Goss, I'll watch Blade 2, if I want Robin Shou, I'll watch Mortal Kombat, and if I want to see some serious tits and ass, I'll just watch porn. This is such a horribly inartistic, disgusting, and generally anti-cool piece of crap that I am ashamed of the filmmakers. It's not about the plot- that's classic B-movie broth - it's about the fact that Reiné is a total loser who defines new intimidating examples with his cinematography, editing, and overall composition of action sequences. The perfect opposite of the "brilliant" first film.
