Race 3 Movie - Death

Death Race 3: Inferno is a serviceable, middle-tier direct-to-video sequel. It does not elevate the franchise but also does not embarrass it. For fans of B-movie car carnage, Luke Goss’s stoic performance, and Dougray Scott chewing scenery as a smug villain, the film delivers exactly what it promises: fast cars, fire, and a thin excuse to blow things up in the desert. Casual viewers are unlikely to miss anything by skipping from Death Race (2008) to Death Race 4 (2018). However, for completionists and DTV action enthusiasts, Inferno offers a harmless 105-minute adrenaline distraction.
