CRITICAL CONSENSUS

"The Condemned is a morally ambiguous, exceedingly violent and mostly forgettable action film."

SYNOPSIS

"An adrenaline-charged action thriller, "The Condemned" tells the story of Jack Conrad (Stone Cold Steve Austin), who is awaiting the death penalty in a corrupt Central American prison. He is "purchased" by a wealthy television producer and taken to a desolate island where he must fight to the death against nine other condemned killers from all corners of the world, with freedom going to the sole survivor. The producer films the illegal event, airing the killings live and uncensored onto the internet. Vinnie Jones and Rick Hoffman co-star. -- © Lionsgate"

Just saw The Condemned today. Loved it. Total violence galore.

And who was my favorite character? Saigo of course. LOL Not just because he's Asian, but because he was by far the coolest fighter. He also had the most style fashionwise. And he took on Stone Cold and got knocked down a few times and kept coming back.

My favorite part was when he took on the black American dude who was close to twice his size. Black dude ran away and got chased by Saigo who wanted more action. LOL That was classic.

He lasted pretty much through the end of the movie. You could tell from the beginning he'd be one of the last remaining fighters.

Anyway, check it out. It's a pretty good movie if you want lots of violence.
