The Condemned
It was pretty entertaining, especially considering the track-record with those WWE movies. My only complaints were:
1) They made you feel so much sympathy for the man and wife convicts, downplaying that they apparently went on a murder-spree. It's funny how easy it is to manipulate an audience. If they made a movie about Hitler in love people would start thinking he's a sweet, lovable guy.
2) I hated the bitch who was shocked that the hot women on an island full of murderers and rapists were getting raped (or nearly raped). I mean, if you're going to sign up for something like that, you'd think some basic foresight would be involved.
3) Steve Austin's character was a bit over-the-top with the badassery. Like, he's so tough that he doesn't want the keys to his cuffs before he's thrown into a deathmatch? Come on.
The pros:
1) The two hot chicks
2) I thought this movie would just have the typical, subtle "You're just as sick as the killers, lolol" message, but to my pleasant surprise, they actually had Vinnie Jones shoot up all of the technicians at the end. That was fucking awesome.
3) The explosions were pretty impressive. I mean, it sounds kind of asinine, but they really did a good job. The final explosion involving a helicopter was particularly well shot.
All in all, definitely not a bad use of 100 minutes, and it could even pass for something other than a mindless action flick (well, a little).

Re: The Condemned
The part where Vinnie Jones slaughters all the technicians one by one. He doesn't even just shoot them all up at the same time, he just kills one, and lets all their friends scream in horror, then the next, and they scream knowing that they're next.
That is one of my favorite scenes in any film.

Re: The Condemned
It was an alright movie, worth a watch or two.
If they made a movie about Hitler in love people would start thinking he's a sweet, lovable guy.
Someone should do that.
