The Condemned 2

Randy Orton stars as bounty hunter Will Tanner.

Two powerful Naval armies square off for supremacy over the high seas in our exclusive clip from Admiral, arriving on VOD and Digital HD formats February 23, before arriving in select theaters on March 11. Frank Lammers stars as Dutch captain Michiel de Ruyter, who is featured in this clip as his ship engages in warfare. Will the Dutch fleet live to see another day? From the looks of this scene, it seems they're in quite a strong position.

When the young republic of The Netherlands is attacked by England, France and Germany and the country itself is on the brink of civil war, only one man can lead the county's strongest weapon, the Dutch fleet: Michiel de Ruyter. This film is based on the true story of Michiel de Ruyter, the 17th Century admiral who became famous for his battles in the Anglo-Dutch Wars. He scored several victories against both the English and French armies,...

As we stand here in 2016, Randy Orton is stale – and injured.

Since losing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXX, The Viper has become something of a secondary player in the land of WWE – a role that is obviously beneath him. Since then Orton became embroiled in The Authority’s business, filmed The Condemned 2: Desert Prey, feuded with Seth Rollins ahead of a WrestleMania 31 showdown, and is currently on the shelf after undergoing shoulder surgery that ruled him out for up to six months in November of last year.

Nothing’s gone right for Randy in recent times, he needs a change. And WWE would be best looking to his storied past for a brighter future.

Stars: Randy Orton, Eric Roberts, Wes Studi, Steven Michael Quezada, Bill Stinchcomb, Alex Knight, Dylan Kenin, Michael Sheets, Morse Bicknell, Mark Sivertsen | Written by Alan B. McElroy | Directed by Roel Reiné

Like The Marine franchise, which featured a new WWE superstar in the lead role in each consecutive film, The Condemned 2 sees Randy Orton (who also took over the lead from John Cena for 12 Rounds 2) stars as bounty hunter turned hunted man, Will Tanner; and – like Orton’s 12 Rounds 2 – this film pales in comparison to the original, abandoning everything that made that Running Man-esque action film so much fun.

The Condemned was one of WWE Studios earliest – and best received – movies, alongside The Marine and See No Evil. And whilst those two films have already had sequels, it’s taken almost ten years for someone to put together a sequel to the Stone Cold Steve Austin starring original.

The realms of the acting and professional wrestling are forever crossing over.

We’re always seeing out favourite superstars taking a break from the ring to pursue that big acting role. Heck, even WWE releases their own movies now, albeit not very good ones.

The most recent case of this happening was Randy Orton. The Viper was last seen on WWE television back in October and has seen his comeback to the ring delayed time and time again. As well as suffering from a nasal injury, the main reason for Randy’s absence was due to the fact he was filming The Condemned 2: Desert Prey, which is due to come out later this year.

It must be said, our superstars have had varying success in the acting world. Of course, The Rock is by far and away the most successful cross over in history, but as you’ll find out during this article,...

Randy Orton has been one of the top stars in WWE since becoming the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history at SummerSlam 2004. As part of the same developmental cohort that produced John Cena, Brock Lesnar and Batista, Orton was a huge part of the WWE’s main event plans throughout the first decade of the 21st century.

Over the last year, however, Orton has stagnated. As part of the Authority stable led by Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, Orton had an underwhelming run as the first WWE World Heavyweight Champion after unifying the two world title belts at TLC 2013. Since losing the straps to Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania XXX, Orton has felt like a peripheral part of that group, especially since the shocking breakup of The Shield and the rise of Seth Rollins as one of the top heels in the company.

WWE has done a terrific job...
