The Condemned. 05/10

The "re-make" of Battle Royale hits the Hollywood screens WWE movies-style (remember See No Evil with Kane), with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Vinnie Jones( Juggernaut, "X-Men") heading a badass cast.

And the movie, hit-and-miss. Where BR was more brutal, and shocking to watch, here we have condemned killers going at each other. Scenario...same. Purpose...same. Sympathy or Empathy...none.

Somehow condemned killers dont arouse much sympathy and shock value. And it isnt the same to relate with this movie, as it was with BR.

The direction is decent, and there are some pretty good performances from Austin and Nathan Jones (if you remember him from the WWE 4-5 years back)...

Worth a watch if you have nothing else to do. Otherwise, skipping it wont be missing much.
(As Austin d say "Hell Yeah!")
