Good bit of violent guy fun... Nothing more entertaining than a WWF bloke trying his hand at acting, if you can call this acting... :-)

MCT:April 30, 2008Own it better then i expected and way better then the Marine.
Does Manu Bennet die brutally in every movie he's in? -
MCT:April 28, 2008When Arnold Schwarzenegger became The Running Man, it was a sensational movie based upon a short story by Stephen King of how reality TV is real what the audience want is violence. The Condemned just up the level of violence and brutality ? but fails to deliver a solid action movie with pale 2 dimensional characters, weak plot and a drag with unoriginal story.
10 death row convicts were set free but are forced to participate in an unlicensed illegal reality TV show created by a rich television producer, a show where only one man left standing will be set free for good. But when one of the participates have some other ideas of his own, he has to fight for his life to shut down the show for good.
Steve ?Stone Cold? Austin stars in a much boring action flick that eating your popcorn becomes stale for the entire length of the movie. All the characters that was shown here are so 2 dimensional, and the fight before all 10 convicts is pale able, you will yawn many times. Steve Austin isn?t an actor at all; all you see is a one look facial expression that you can remember throughout the film. Vinnie Jones is not even menacing enough to let the audience know he is the most dangerous of them all. The fight scenes are dull, the violence and the action with the brutality are boring, and the script isn?t interesting. I do know what the movie is trying to convey the message but it?s not enough to even feel sympathetic to anyone. And what?s worst, the flow of movie drags so slow, you wish you didn?t pay for it to watch this movie but rather rent it to laugh it out.
The Condemned is not interesting and action movie fans will seriously make a pass to this film unless there?s nothing to watch, a rent will do just to pass an afternoon boring day. A sadly miss. -
MCT:April 28, 2008The third movie from WWE Films and starring Steve Austin, The Condemned takes bits of The Most Dangerous Game and chunks of The Running Man to deliver a movie that seems more confused about its purpose than anything else.
They pack in the action here and the premise worked okay for me but the scripts mix of brutal violence and attempts at anti-violence social commentary didn't sit well in my stomach - especially in the finale where Vinnie Jones character mercilessly guns down a half-dozen people in cold blood. Plus it runs about 15-20 minutes too long.
The Marine was a more entertaining WWE effort and there are a few things here that I liked, but an identity crisis drags it down into skippable territory. Plus, Austin doesn't make much of a hero and is upstaged at all times by Jones and Robert Mammone (as the jerk TV producer behind it all). -
MCT:April 27, 2008This one's a tough one to call really because at heart, it's a standard action film which is done above the standard of other WWE films. On the other hand, they want to look at the issue of the internet and people watching violence. Hmmm, this seems to be one you may want to use for media studies and reality television. But anyway, this is passable, definitley the best from WWE so far because it actually had something resembling a plot and it's clear to see that Vinnie Jones is having a whale of a time being you pyscho british badguy. Worth watching on a saturday night if you're bored - watch the Blu-ray if you get a chance. The picture is god damn fantasic as it filmed on Panasonic HD Cameras!
