The worst movie ever made.


this is the most hypocritical movie ever made, It wouldn't nearly be as bad if it wasn't a WWE backed film with wrestlers and thuggish ex foolball players in the cast that sold itself on it's lurid and exploitative premise, Action Films have never been places for messages and certainly not ones about media violence, There's no humor, no invention and for a star vehicle it's a waste of Steve Austin who's barely in the movie perhaps to hide his lack of acting ability but it means he makes no impression in the role and his anti-authority streak is non-exploited, perhaps it bombed in the box office because people wanted to see a action film and not a overly preachy movie that promotes censorship and the overly debunked correlation that fictional violence and real violence is the same.

thuggish is referring to Vinnie Jones who is a white british football player, Stop race baiting, Anyways the movie poster said, "10 will fight. 9 will die. AND YOU GET TO WATCH." Wish I'd seen that before I watched this piece of manipulative garbage (somewhat well-made and semi-convincing garbage, which only heightens the disgust). It ends with some weak diatribes about how we the viewers are really The Condemned, not the death row prisoners who are killing each other on the deserted island. What a joke that is, This movie absolutely glories in showing every bit of blood and bullets and knives ripping through flesh and even a long, drawn-out rape scene; it pretends to be judging the makers of reality shows, but in reality it's the makers of this movie who use this premise to create what is really just a totally sleazy piece of violence pornography with some of the most ham-handed and hypocritical social commentary any movie has ever offered,
