... View MoreA former bounty hunter who finds himself on the run as part of a revamped Condemned tournament, in which convicts are forced to fight each other to the death as part of a game that's broadcast to the public. The Condemned 2 feels pretty cheap in front of the first film which i believe even got a theatrical release unlike this one. The acting was pretty below average although Randy Orton did try his best for sure. The film's storyline was also pretty dumb against the first one which although no masterpiece made a bit more sense as a whole. (4/10)
... View MoreThe WWE made a direct-to-video sequel of their ripoff film of the Japanese cult classic "Battle Royale" that's painfully dull. No Steve Austin this time and instead the wrestler star is Randy Orton (I'm not familiar with him as a wrestler, but I do remember his dad, "Cowboy" Bob Orton). The original film stuck much closer to "Battle Royale," with unwitting victims finding themselves trapped on an island, wearing explosive collars, and then being told they have to kill each other in a set amount of time or all of their collars will explode. That was all straight out of Kinji Fukasaku's "Battle Royale," though I suppose one could argue that Fukasaku's film (based on a Japanese novel) was really a more violent update of "The Most Dangerous Game." However, the original Condemned, although derivative, was still entertaining and had some decent action. This sequel felt super cheap, especially the low budget desert setting where the competitors find themselves once again killing each other off for the entertainment of others. Eric Roberts and Wes Studi do some slumming, but they can't make this film worth watching or even watchable. Dullsville.
... View MoreI have seen "The Condemned" a few times since its release because although it has its obvious flaws, it has a lot of entertainment to it; on IMDb I rated the first film 7/10, which is pretty good in my books. I was looking at the related films section on IMDb and saw that there was a "The Condemned 2" movie and I had no idea! So I thought to myself, "awesome! This should be reasonable". I just got around to watching it last night, and well, my goodness, it was dreadful... Character development: What characters? These people are practically nameless. We know almost nothing about them. Acting: I have seen juniors on their first produced film act so much better. Most of the so called "characters" acting were so shallow and barely believable. It was painful to watch. Screenplay: *groans* I think whoever wrote this script jotted the whole rough copy down on paper in a maximum of 2 hours and stuck with it.. The predictability in this film too! Everything that happened, you could see coming a mile away. There seemed to be excessive explosions.. ALL THE TIME.. Excessive amounts of gun fights.. ALL THE TIME.. and not to mention, slooooooow moooootion.. ALL THE TIME!... If the screenplay of an action flick is done right, you should have a balance between pure action, drama and character development. You need a build up and intrigue toward characters, so that the suspense of the action grabs you, sits you down and makes you watch with anticipation. This film failed as an enjoyable action flick, in every possible way. Also, this film is barely a sequel to the first and it scars "The Condemned" name by claiming to be a part of it. The first film was mentioned once for a brief moment in the entirety of the film.I didn't have high hopes because of the rating, but Jesus. What were WWE Studios/Lionsgate thinking? This film is only rated 4.2/10 and it is STILL overrated; that is depressing. Absolutely horrendous and extremely disappointing. 1/20
... View More"Why is our old crew trying to kill me." Will Tanner (Orton) is a bounty hunter that is shut down by a judge. Given a warning he decides to go straight rather than winding up in jail. When he becomes a target in the new Condemned tournament he is forced to defend himself against his friends. There really isn't a whole lot to say about this movie. Much like the first one it is a reality show based idea where people place bets on who kills him first. Randy Orton is a pretty good choice for this role and the movie is pretty much exactly what you would expect. A decent B-movie that is entertaining to watch but nothing amazing or award worthy. But then again what wrestler movie is. Overall, entertaining but not really anything to watch more than once. I give this a C+.
