The Condemned
Look, I can’t in good conscience sit here and tell you the ‘The Condemned’ is any sort of quality cinema. And looking at the box office numbers, the rest of the country seems to feel the same way.
But if you like movies that are so bad they are good, and if you liked movies like ‘The Running Man’ and ‘Surviving the Game’ (awesome movie) then you will probably like ‘The Condemned’.
Very simply, 10 prisoners from death rows around the world are rounded up and plopped on an island to fight to the death. The last one standing gets his freedom and a boatload of cash. But Stone Cold Steve Austin isn’t (as you might guess) your average prisoner….
Bad dialog and acting are pushed aside in favor of a think plot with good fight scenes, and if they made this movie to become the next ‘Road House’, or a cable/dvd success, they might have succeeded.
There are only a few people I know that I would ever tell to see this movie in the theaters, but that being said if you catch it on cable it’s a fun diversion for 90 minutes.
