The Human Race
A group of 80 people are ripped out of their daily lives and all re-appear in an undisclosed location. These people are from all walks of life: young and old, athletic and disabled, white-collared and homeless. The rules to a race boom in their heads, in their own voice and language, laying out what will become a horrific race of terror: “If you are lapped twice, you die. If you step off the path, you die. If you touch the grass, you will die”. Race...or die.

Utterly generic, but reasonably well-played and directed
June 18, 2014
Instead of a grandly ghoulish dash for survival, the movie revels in ghastly behavior with a mouthbreathing concentration that's as irritating as it is worthless.
June 15, 2014
Real suspense and shocks are MIA in a movie that's eventful but lacks the atmospherics needed to be scary.

Despite the essentially formulaic nature of the proceedings, the film does boast some nasty twists that prove galvanizing.
