The Condemned 2

The plot does not make sense at all. It almost gave me a headache to try and make sense of the plot while stifling through countless flaws in the movie. The nonsense eventually overpowers the film. The only reason I decide to sit through is for some good ass kicking by Mr.Orton but even that is a disaster. Unnecessary explosions and overhead shots from the drones makes the most of the movie. Felt more like a promotion for drones. If they had stuck to the original plot and made a sequel on just that I believe it would have been much more tolerable. Lionsgate-WWE being such a big production fails to deliver and has been since the past few projects.

(2015) The Condemned 2 ACTION

Cinematography and directed by Roel Reiné that's not actually a direct sequel from the first "Condemned" movie starring Steve Austin. In this second, stars Randy Orton, as he plays "Bail Enforcement Agent" team leader, Will Tanner leading his unit of five to capture baddie, Cyrus Merrick (Wes Studi). Will's team also include Communications & intel specialist, Harrington (Bill Stinchcomb); an interrogator, Lange (Michael Sheets); explosives expert named Cooper (Alex Knight); hand to hand combat, Ryan Michaels (Morse Bicknell) and a sniper named Travis (Dylan Kenin). And as a result of Will accidentally killing his half a million bounty, after six months, he then gets five years probation. The first thing he does besides visiting his dad, Frank Tanner (Eric Roberts) he applies for a low grade job of a toe truck driver on a long desert highway. And it is not long before Will Tanner becomes the number target from Cyrus Merrick's #2 man, Raul Baccaro (Steven Michael Quezada). In other words, Will Tanner becomes "The Condemned", with him having to defend himself from getting killed from his former team, starting from his hand to hand expert Ryan Michaels before him confronting his interrogator James Lange. And at first Will had no idea he is being targeted by Raul Baccaro and his gamblers who were watching him defend himself from his former team, who are attempting to take him out. Watched and televised live by drones and sometimes by riders on ATVs.

The Condemned with Steve Austin was different, unique and had a flare to it. Sure the acting wasn't superb but it was decent. The Condemned 2 was horrible from start to finish. This film was poorly adapted, screenplay had a feel of being written by a high school teen, plot was weak and characters were dreadful. Randy Orton is horrid as an actor and the fight sequences were so distasteful they landed like a middle school fight. I give this poorly done film a 3 out of 10.

This movie makes 'The Condemned' with Steve Austin look like an Academy Award winning movie.

I do not know where to begin. Eric Roberts seems to be the only actor that can sort of... act in this movie. This says a fair bit as the guy is not the best actor going around. The script seems to be written by an 8 year old. The delivery of the lines is some of the worst I have ever seen. Randy Orton's fight scenes are clearly choreographed (you can tell the punches do not connect). His WWE matches are more realistic.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this movie.

This is a pretty darn bland movie with some poor editing and super cheesy and poorly executed action sequences. Mainly because of the camera execution, it was just lame from start to finish. The acting is pretty bad and seems like regular civilians with shaved heads, some muscle and a beard participated. Or guys that just look slick or a bit geeky played these roles. I like watching movies where it's survival of the fittest, but this movie was boring. I have seen much better from amateur youtube videos and much entertaining as well. Randy Orton for most the time, looked like he didn't know what he was doing. The movie is about an hour and thirty minutes and they try to milk every second of it. Because apparently movies have to be at least 1 hour and 30 minutes or close to it. So there is a bunch of shots of rich people throwing around money, cheering and making bets. Sure this can play a part in the story, but not when it's constantly shown over and over again. This is a action movie, but just about all of the action in this movie is downright stupid and doesn't make any sense. The story seems like something someone can come up with in like an hour by just sitting and writing. Even the interactions between characters was so bad, cliché and boring. Just pass on this one, it's a waste of time. I give this movie a 3 because they seem to have tried really hard to make a cool, stylish quasi video game style movie.
