The Condemned

With the stage set by a contemporary spate of films starring WWE wrestlers, including SEE NO EVIL (Glen "Kane" Jacobs) and THE MARINE (John Cena), THE CONDEMNED follows suit by building a story around the massive physique and impassive demeanor of pro wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Austin plays former military agent Jack Conrad, whose top-secret mission to El Salvador went awry; the mountainous man wound up on death row in a local prison while his associates back home conveniently forgot about him. Conrad is offered a final chance at clemency by the evil entertainment tycoon Ian Breckel (Robert Mammone, THE MATRIX RELOADED), who buys up Conrad and nine other condemned men and forces them to participate in his diabolical new reality-TV show. The game is simple: the contestants are dropped on a remote island fitted with cameras, and instructed to kill or be killed over the next 30 hours. At the end of that time, the sole survivor will be awarded his freedom and a large cash prize, and the event can be viewed online for $49.95. Conrad, not a murderer by nature, is forced to defend himself against fellow contestants Saiga (Masa Yamaguchi), who is a Japanese martial artist; badass Brit McStarley (former soccer star Vinnie Jones); and the deadly Ghanaian woman Yasantwa (Emelia Jones).

    'The Condemned'

    Ok ten ex-cons all on death row. Dropped off on an island full of cameras.Thirty hours for one to survive and walk free. Live streaming to the net. Simple idea works really well.

    If you like your movies where you don't have to think . This is the one for you. Lots of action . Great to see Stone Cold do what he is good at . Vinnie Jones is a bit annoying and you can't help yourself cheering on Austin.

    Deserves to have done better in the cinema.

    five stars for being what it says on the tin ....an action movie..

    Gratuitious Violence

    I wanted this film because I like Vinny Jones 'Hardman' image which, in other films, has been tinged with comedy and even compassion. 'The Condemned' is a disappointment with so much unnecessary violence and Vinny portraying a vicious, murdering thug and rapist. The plot of broadcasting murderous combat by condemned killers over the internet is daft (but so is 'Death Race' which is violent but funny too) but there is nothing to save this film from the dustbin.
