If you are interested in seeing dynamic set pieces, it will deliver, but the story in between never feels compelling enough for one to want to stick around.

The film valiantly struggles to disguise its derivative, cliché-hobbled script with some low-rent sadomasochism, swathes of bare flesh and plenty of authentic Brazilian cultural seasoning.

If you're a fan of the genre and appreciate well-choreographed urban action, there's enough to grab onto here.

[Beast Race] brings a high level of quality to everything it attempts, and adds a Brazilian specificity... to create a highly watchable new entry in the post apocalyptic cinematic pantheon.
