“Fast And Fierce: Death Race” (** out of four) was an utterly routine action thriller about a legendary car racer (Michael DeVorzon) who becomes involved in an illegal race from Mexico to California while trying to protect a woman (Paulina Nguyen) whose abusive boyfriend (DMX) organized the race and is threatening all involved. It’s unclear if this is a sequel to either “Fast And Fierce” or one of the “Death Race” entries but either way- it’s an uninspired ripoff of “The Fast And The Furious.” Moves fast but is made up entirely of spare parts. Lead actor DeVorzon even has the gall to say towards the end he lives his life “one quarter mile at a time.” DMX can play this role in his sleep by now and does; he needs to stop being greedy and seek out some better roles.
