THE HUMAN RACE (2013)
In this one 80 people are selected to run a race with some
simple rules.
1) Do not go off the path (touch the grass) or you will die.
2) Do not try, not racing or you will die, and
3) If you get lapped twice, you die.
Ready, get set, go. Oh, man. Sorry but almost nothing about this damn movie was fun to watch or entertaining in any sense of the word. What we have here is a giant pile of cinematic garbage. While the premise could have been so much more promising, the execution and dialog are so bad it’s almost ludicrous. I will even go as far as to say it started off pretty well and had my attention, but then it promptly crashed and burned. In this mess, however, we do get a stellar performance from Trista Robinson is the deaf female and it’s no freakin wonder she’s booked for movies through the end of time right now. Everyone else is okay at best and I actually did like the soundtrack.

Unfortunately, none of that helps. I will say in one
scene the two main actors run into a couple of kids. Rather than following the
rules, they purposely tell them to just wait until they come back which means
they have stopped racing and will get lapped if things don’t work out. While
there is an argument over this, it seems so unlikely even in a stressful situation
that it kinda makes you hope no one in this race survives anyway.
Headline –
Purpose or point of movie defeated by a terrible script. Film at 11.
Unfortunately, it gets worse and worse and the ending is about as un-satisfying
as any other sloppy Twilight Zone rip-off.
I should give a nod to Brianna Lauren Jackson in this, she does a good
job but it doesn’t appear she’s been in much else.
