While watching this movie (not having seen the first for a couple years) I was kind of bored and the dialog / acting was definitely B/C grade material (the Jason strathom look a like too is pretty pathetic)... The last 10 minutes makes up for it all so if you watch this movie stick it out to the end. Immediately after watching this I went out and picked up the first death race all because the ending left me kind of pumped.
Don't know why this was a straight to video sequel / prequel, the original did pretty well in the theatre doubling it's budget in sales. Don't let the STV title fool you, I'd rather take a crappy script with more money put into the sets / cars for this type of movie, they all looked just as good as the original movie!
Danny Trejo did a pretty good job, his role in Machete is nothing close to what he does in this movie which was a bit of a disappointment. Sean Bean is one of my favourite actors since his role in National Treasures but again he didn't do a great job in this movie, partly to blame is the script.
I watch a ton of B grade movies so I'm used to crappy scripts / acting but it's still good for killing a couple free hours time if you liked the original's unique take on prison based story lines mixed with a bit of high octane.
