Right, i can say this now, this was actually a brilliant movie. It's a WWE films production and it was co-produced by Vince McMahon.

The Condemned stars WWE wrestler 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and footballer turned actor Vinnie Jones as the psycho ex SAS Brit. Brilliant acting from all. It also featured another former WWE wrestler Nathan Jones as a Russian. Strangely he's Australian in real life.
The plot of this movie is that 10 condemned prisoners are picked to be involved in an internet reality show called The Condemned and onc e they've all been flown to the Island where the reality show takes place they all got to kill each other.
10 people will fight, 9 will die.
All is not what it seems as Jack Conrad (Steve Austin) is actually a former Special Ops guy who was on a secret mission when he was arrested and thrown in jail.
Anyway all the 'participants' are offed one by one. McStarley (Vinnie Jones) is the ex SAS bloke who did something to the Mexican fella's wife and then later shot the Mexican fella with a arrow straight through the chest.
Conrad actually managed to hide the GPS on his ankle so he couldn't be tracked and then managed to get into the inner grounds of the 'hub' to get to a phone and speak to his wife, smart, huh?

Finally it's down to the last two - McStarley and Jack Conrad. McStarley is given the better advantage as he got a pump action shotgun and as they fight Conrad falls off the rocks after being slashed with a knife and falls into the water, we think he's dead, uh uh.
McStarley is picked up, and driven to the 'hub' and crowned the winner. No, it's not over yet as the 'studio' where the crew sit is invaded by Vinnie's character and it becomes a bloodbath. The ending is just fantastic.

There is just some brilliant quotes in this film and i will give it a 10/10 for sheer awesomeness.

And that's the bottom line...
