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

Overview
One moment some 80 people are walking on a big city street. Suddenly a blinding light appears that transports them to a very peculiar racing course. A voice sounds in everybody’s head : “The school, the house and the prison are safe. Follow the arrows or you will die. Stay on the path or you will die. If you’re doubled twice, you will die. Do not touch the grass or you will die. Race or die.” Whether you’re rich or poor, old or young, blind, strong, handicapped, courageous or a coward; the rules make no distinction. There can be only one winner !

By the time half the contestants have been offed you may be less interested in who will win than when it will all be over.
Michael Nordine, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
Real suspense and shocks are MIA in a movie that's eventful but lacks the atmospherics needed to be scary.

Though the dialogue is pretty basic and the narrative dots don't always quite connect, "The Human Race," in its own gutsy, grindhouse-movie way, manages style, vision and tension.
