I had no idea what to expect from this movie but it turned out to be pretty good. Good acting from stone cold steve austin and storyline. In my opinion better than the rocks movies. Hope he does more movies in the future.

Well old slap head Steve Austin i must admit did pretty well acting his part.

The storyline is pretty lame the only entertainment is Vinnie Jones and his manic mayhem! All it is, is a battle royal to the death.

If you enjoy a pointless and brutal action film, get this.

Hope this helped.

Okay for a no brainer type action film but that is basically all it is. Vinny Jones helps the movie a lot with his acting in comparison to Steve Austen who is quite bland throughout. Nice and gory, it's an okay film if you are looking for any easy watch.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised

I watched this film not expecting a lot I mean it's WWE films after all. However, it is not bad to be fair. "Stone Cold" is a better actor than I thought he would be, though not amazing - he holds his own. Vinnie Jones is a bit melodramatic as the psycho-bad-guy. Overall it is a decent effort; the action is good and the little bits of social commentary add a neat sub-plot. Hopefully WWE will get better because it's about time for action films to go back to what they're good at - sack the martial arts and 'bullet time' and just smash about.

One thing really annoyed me - the camera work during some of the fight scenes - handy cam is fine but the zooms, pans and cuts were questionable.

Worth a watch.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars ok for a violent no brainer

This film is basically an excuse for violence for violence sake but I thought it was acted fairly well and Vinne Jones was his usual evil charactor but over all I quite enjoyed the film.

Good for a Saturday night in, when you just want to watch a non complicated film with little thought gone in to it.

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars A good american remake of an asian classic.

After the amount of american remakes of asian horror films Ive seen which never felt as good as the original, writers must have decided it was time to look at another genre to recreate.

The Condemned is basically an american version of the asian classic 'Battle Royale'. But instead of a whole class of students, trying to cope with the fact they have to kill their classmates to survive, we have 10 'condemned' killers who are offered freedom if they kill the other 9 killers.

While trying to turn it into something more action packed, you can definately see they have taken from Battle Royale, especially the explosive devices attached to their bodies, and the fact they have been transported to a relativly disused island.

Despite that, The Condemned does a good job of being a film you can just sit down and enjoy without having to worry about the plot.

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin does a good job for his first time in a movie, he may not be as good as the Rock to me, but he's a step up from John Cena.
Vinnie Jones on the other hand, while good, this didnt feel like his best performance compared to other work he has done.

On its own, The Condemned is a good film, but its only really for the 'action enthusiasts'. If your looking for something with a deeper story, I'd reccomend picking up a copy of Battle Royale, which is hosestly superior.

Still, good attempt by america this time.

Completely amazing! It takes years to find a film like this and every now and then one pops up and completely blows you away for anyone who likes action in the slightest or just thinks that Vinnie Jones is the best of britain then you gotta have it. 10/10

Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Boom!
