This quick retro-kitsch slick flick gets off to a great start but runs out of gas before it gets to the end.
Fueled by bad practical special effects and irony, this political satire / inaction movie (there's so much filler of cars going nowhere) / cheap horror flick is at its best when it wallows in its own film, but wastes too much time wasting time to reach its 84 minute run out of gas time.
The film's only lasting claims to fame are probably 1) offering a young actor called Sylvester Stallone a co-starring role 1 year before Rocky and 2) serving as the basis for 2017's remake / reboot Death Race 2050, which succeeds in every area this film fails and remains a monument to retro kitsch satire and which you should be watching instead of reading this.
