The remake was passable action fare (re: a typical Jason Statham movie), but I have to ask - how bad is the script for the sequel that Statham won't do it? After all, this is the guy who signed on for CRANK 2, one of the biggest steaming shitpiles ever laid on the unsuspecting moviegoing public! If he'll do that colon-churning abomination but won't do a DEATH RACE sequel, the latter must not show much promise.
