The Condemned (2007)



The Good:
If you enjoy fighting-game-style movies then the plot might appeal to you (though it has been done in one variation or another about 1000 times).
The characters were... hehe... characters.
I laughed one really good laugh during the film - not sure the part was meant to be funny though.

The Bad:
The fight cinematography was terrible! It was so jerky it made me feel sick to watch it.
The main character, played by Steve Austin, was absolutely ridiculous. Every line he delivered was unbelievable and trite.
The plot was predictable to an extreme.

Overall: I don't know why the WWE thinks it should be in the business of making films. I am not even sure why I watched the whole thing. This makes The Scorpion King look like a classic cinema (I make the comparison because the Rock is in it).

And don't think I am speaking ill of the Rock. After his performance in "Be Cool", that man has my respect. Well... not respect... but he did really make me laugh in that role.

See "Be Cool" right now if you haven't yet. It is awesome!
