I also love that a British guy was both a Nascar driver and in an American prison. I know it's possible, but I still laughed. I love that all the women from the women's prison are, of course, hot sassy supermodel types. Maybe they were all busted from the same prostitution ring...although I find it difficult to believe that prostitution is illegal in a future in which the country tunes in to watch inmates kill each other with cars and apparently considers it a sport*. I love that the trailer just happens to give away two seemingly major plot twists, although I'm guessing the plot is what the filmmakers called "the stuff between the car battles." I love that half the cars have devices that may very well be items and weapons Wile. E. Coyote bought from Acme at some point. I love that Ian McShane tries really hard to sell the line "I guess he didn't like the oatmeal" but knows it's futile. I love that Jason Statham is now a genre, not just an actor**. I love that even the release date is accompanied by a blood splatter.
I will be setting $14 aside now to catch this one on August {splatter}
**I just moved The Transporter to the top of my Netflix queue because while delivering a package to set the other day, I realized that The Transporter probably translates to Kickass Courier in some countries. FedEx really should have gotten on that instead of Cast Away. Jason Statham would have delivered all those packages from the island using only a very precise rocket launcher: his arm. (Is he the new Chuck Norris?)
