The Condemned 2 (2015)
Rated R
Starring Randy Orton, Eric Roberts
Directed by Roel Reine
The Story:
Will Tanner (Orton) is a bounty hunter. When a fugitive winds up dead, Tanner winds up in court and he is lucky to not be sent to prison. However, the fugitive's brother wants revenge, and in a high stake gambling match that pits Tanner against his old crew in a fight to the death, Will has little choice but to fight, or die!
Almost a decade ago, WWE Studios released The Condemned. The premise: 10 felons are left alone on an island and fight to the death. To the winner-freedom. And it's all televised across the world and it's a ratings smash!
I'm sure one of these years when Survivor's ratings are tanking, they will employ this strategy.
WWE continues to pave the way!
:)
Randy Orton once again gets to be the star, having already been in the 12 Rounds franchise.
I think he needs to take a crack at The Marine in order to headline all of WWEs franchises. :)
Anyway, he does a fine and believable job. Eric Roberts tags along and has some fun as the dad who is hard on his son, but would do anything to help him.
All in all, the premise is actually pretty good, and WWE Studios continues to crank out modest hits that aren't too bad at all.
Nice to help bridge the gap into the movies for the wrestlers as they wind down their in-ring and prepare for life after the squared circle.
It's worked out pretty well for a lot of them, 1 of which will be in tomorrow's review.
Final Grade: C+
