Pointless movie, that even tries to deliver some sort of ethic message between hardcore fights to the death. A weird movie. Maybe it would work better if the script wouldn't be so pretentious. Still a decent c-grade actioner.

this is battle royale with Stone Cold..it could have been a lot worst some of the kills were fun...

It's sad, but i actually had to high expectations for this. The Running Man meets Jurassic Park should be good old stupid fun, but gets way to caught up in the morality of violence in the media.

Poor.

Though it's a predictable Battle Royale rip-off, the disturbing presentation complements the theme stunningly well; at times, practically condemning itself and the viewer. The plot was decent, the cast was surprisingly good, the action was restrained (or at least fitting) enough not to be hypocritical, and I don't know, I guess I just liked it.

The Condemned is a really odd film. It's a graphic action film about a bunch of people set loose on an island who each have a goal set for them. They must kill everyone else on the island before 30 hours, or they will all be blown up. It's a film that tries to send a message to its viewers about how the portrayal of violence in the media has gotten out of hand. Not even the action scenes can save the film, as most of them end up being hard to follow with the constant use of shaky cams.

steve austin in a film?!? steve austin in a film with vinnie jones..now that sounds like its gona be a bad film..well it will surprise most of you because this was enjoyable throughout with plenty of action, until you get to a not so good ending!

Meh, fuck it. Watch it, have a good time.

Battle Royale wanna be...

For an ultra-violent movie--which I normally cannot take seriously for even a moment--not bad.

Honestly, this film was not trying to be the next great action film entering into the annals of movie history. It was just trying to be Steve Austin and a bunch of other action actors maiming and killing each other in the jungle, and, in that, it succeeds wonderfully. Now, one has to judge just what type of score that type of project at best would deserve...

"A shameless rip on Kinji Fukasaku's Battle Royale, The Condemned unseats Slow Burn as the most hilariously inane film of 2007." - Ed Gonzalez

but sometimes,feels good to have a bit of excitement!

Good action slow plot.

Worth watching just for Vinnie Jones. Manu Bennett is also pretty good in this. Too bad Steve Austin had the lead role. Watching him lumber around the screen was kind of painful; the guy's body is so messed up from injuries, protein powder, steroids, drugs and age that he appears barely able to run (or do anything requiring agility). He is pretty good at falling though. Not very believable that he demolishes guys half his age in hand-to-hand combat who are in far better physical condition.

Entertaining, I guess. Vinnie Jones is great.

Decent. Vinnie Jones is good!

Could have been so much better had Stone Cold actually been stone cold. Instead he was a poon cake. In addition 90 percent of the kills were cop outs that just ended up with an explosion

Far exceeded my expectations (which were terrible lol) ~ Great concept. The acting wasn't exactly great, some of the music was terribly placed, & the cinematography during certain action shots were nauseating, but it was overall a worthwhile movie.

The movie is definitely better than your average beat-em-and-blow-em-up flick, despite being...well, one of them. It has it's fair share of bad movie moments, but at the same time somehow avoids becoming an actual BAD MOVIE. Don't ask me how. If you're a wrestling fan, check it out. You'll be impressed with Stone Cold in his first starring role, and Vinnie Jones delivers. It even seems he gets a bit more screen time than Austin himself. You won't mind.

This is so awful that it's actually good.

A sadist's action movie. It wants to be bad guys fighting bad guys to the death gladiator-style, but only a few come off as crazed killers while the others fall victim to nonsensical torture. Steve Austin is our hero, but rooting for him doesn't save the movie. It's all too depressing to care about, and by the end the writers want to send a message about violence in entertainment. It's as if they want to offend their own audience. Even taken as a formulaic action film, it's third-rate.
