Trivia:

Contrary to popular belief, this is NOT a remake of Batoru rowaiaru (2000) (Battle Royale). That remake is helmed by Neal H. Moritz and Roy Lee and has nothing to do with The Condemned (2007). more

FAQ

When Vinnie Jones's character takes the MP-5 or whatever that is and says "Merry Christmas", is that an homage to Die Hard's "Ho ho ho, now I have a machine gun"?
Where does Conrad (Steve Austin) get the roll of duct tape that he uses to attach the metal reinforcement rods to his forearms?

Surprisingly decent, 8 August 2007

So this flick was by no means great, but it did what it wanted to do, be a good bad action flick. Swearing, blood, fighting, no CGI, I had a great time watching it. Which really surprised me cause I HATE stone cold, but even he was pretty good. If you just wanna turn off your brain and watch a well done bad action flick, check this out. And yes I have seen battle royale and the running man, and yes this rips them both off fairly liberally, but what the hell, an action flick is an action flick, enjoy it for what it is. And Vinnie Jones is great as the super evil bad guy. And it even has some social commentary about the media's influence on our culture. Granted, its heavy handed and obvious, but seeing as I was expecting a movie on par with a Segal straight to DVD flick, any level of intelligence is appreciated.
