non-icp fans?

I'm not that big of an ICP fan...and I liked it for what it was.

I also thought it was O.K. for what it was,not good but certainly not bad.

"Movies are never gonna cure the world's ills,but they sure are a nice distraction." (Sometimes)

No, I hated it.

Review I wrote for it....


If you are like me and wanted to check this out 'cause you thought it might be something like Death Race or Death Race 2000, then think again. What I predict happened here is Asylum Studios either saw the script for Death Race being handed around when it was in those stages and wanted to do it, but did not have the funding to make such a movie, or they found a script of it online and tried to out do it in there own cheesy little take on the idea.

It starts off much like that of Death Race; being that, it's the future, and the USA seems to have collapsed. But then this one dibbles into to some story about Raven wanting to poison the US Water Supply, so the president or Governor or whatever the heck he was bores you to death with a plot to kill Raven by sending in 4 teams to collect his head in what they call the Red Zone.

The rest of the movie is mindless killing for points, trying to survive and get to Raven before he poisons America. And believe me, it sounds more interesting then it really is.

Now, how on Earth can you take a movie where you use your cars to run down pedestrians for points and screw it up? Well, if you watch this movie, you will see how. There is nothing scary, funny, or even entertaining then two hacks in clown make-up running down people who can't get out of the way in time while driving a convertible ice-cream truck at 5 miles an hour. Had they been running over zombies after there brains, you might swallow it, but why drive so slowly in a film like this?

As a matter of fact, I don't think any of the cars in this film do much more then 10 miles an hour for something that is supposed to be a race.
The title of the movie does not belong, when driving scenes last no longer then 10 mins throughout the film. And then the 4 cars they use, what a joke... a convertible with spray painted flames and a plastic mini gun on the side, a 1940's army jeep equipped with two cardboard guns on the front, the stupid ICP van, and a sports car that I guess the idea was to try and rip off the chicks from Cannonball Run II but fail miserably.

It's not that the effects or editing or film quality is all that bad, but the acting is atrocious, even for a b-grade action movie.
The character development it pointless, not to mention how many pointless scenes are thrown in between Raven and his medicine man, the president or whoever and his men huddled into a small box, and ICP trying to be cool and funny, but only coming off as annoying and dumb.

I guess ICP thought they would look so cool slicing away at the camera in slow motion with knives and machetes and having fake blood squirt in there eyes, then smile like "it's all good, homie" but man, what a joke they are to see trying to be cool, let alone trying to act.

There is so many useless scenes put in as well that only add to the confusion of what the heck is going on in the film, and it just slows everything down. So many useless character development plots thrown in that are not needed, and again, so many useless scenes forced in just to make the movie longer... honestly, take this movie, cut it up, and make it the 20 minute short film it is without the most useless *&^%$ forced in to stretch it out.

And I really want to lay into ICP a bit more for the fact that I will never get the time back I wasted watching them in this. So they should be let known, that there acting in this was that bad, it made there WCW stints look fabulous... and, that is saying A LOT!

They have a song in this movie called F The World... nah, the world is ok, just F ICP and there Mexican sleazeball of a co-star who you can not wait to be offed in the movie... I don't wanna throw any spoilers out there for those stupid enough to want to see this garbage, but his death at 2 miles an hour is a real disappointment.

So, hopefully you have gotten the point that I really am slamming this movie for what it is... but can I say anything good about the movie? Well, as I said before, the quality isn't that bad, and the editing is ok, it's the acting that let's it all down. I suppose if you are into ICP music or rap music, you will enjoy the soundtrack. But for god sakes people, don't praise this crap just because your an ICP fan. You know damn well they can not act and this movie is a joke.

Some reviews I saw other places said if you liked Death Race, Death Race 2000, The Running Man or Grand Theft Auto you would love this movie... *COUGH* *VOMIT* NO YOU WILL NOT, I loved all those movies and still hated this one.

And I don't know about the American cover of the DVD, but the Australian one says, "WWE's Raven" as the star of the movie .... Raven hasn't been in the WWE for 100 years, so you know if there trying hard to make you think he is still in the WWE, you know they are REALLY trying to use any illusions they possibly can to get your attention to see this god awful film.

I won't give it the perfect 1 star. I will give it 1 and a half stars, and extra half star for the name of the female team in this, and some of the smart alec comments they make through the film, that was about the only thing worthy of this film... and before you say it, no I like bigger girls, So I really do mean there dialog, not there looks.

Do yourself a favor, if you really are curious to see this, don't pay for it, best bet, wait till it's on free TV at like 1am sometime.

It was a dreadful movie in any objective sense. Bad acting. Bad production values. Bad dialogue. The best that can be said about the plot is that the bits that are good aren't original, and the bits that are original aren't good.

But yeah, it was still fun to watch and at least doesn't take itself too seriously.

- Back to your bridge, you evil troll. You have no powers here! -

It was a so-so movie for me, not great, not terrible, just tolerable. Much like ICP themselves for me...I don't consider myself a "Juggalo", but I'd prefer the Juggalos over the Beliebers anyday.
