It's not bad, it's super bad

After watching the movie, I was in a good mood - it's rare, I haven't seen such a downright bad movie for a long time. To put it bluntly, it's useless.
But it is ironic that the director actually has some ideas, such as wanting to describe some human nature in extreme conditions, such as wanting to criticize those mercenary TV people, such as wanting to promote the truth of the world... It's a pity that these things are mixed bluntly. Mixed into this pure action film, it seems nondescript, even a little funny.
Even looking at the movie as a pure action movie isn't satisfying. Let’s not talk about the old-fashioned subject matter, which is almost boring, and only talk about the action scenes. Although there are many kung fu masters joining in, the director’s poor control almost makes the action scenes simple and appalling. of almost zero.
If there is a bright spot, there are at least a few beauties that are good, or have a beautiful face, or a great body. It is a pity that the director is not very conscious, and would rather shoot a few half-naked men hugging each other. A chance for beauty to be exposed. In view of this, it is simply unacceptable not to give it a minimum score.

    The pervasive sense of guilt, full of numb people, the slightest warmth, makes people shudder and relax

    There's a lot of irony in it. It's a fast food movie with a bit of thinking and some comics that I've seen. Also "Battle Royale".

The Condemned quotes

  • Donna Sereno: [TV interview] That means that kids can log on and watch murder.

    Ian Breckel: Yeah sure they can, if they have a credit card.

  • Baxter: [explaining the rules to everybody] Okay. Listen up, gang. On your ankle, you all have a rig packed with twenty ounces of plastic explosive. Twenty ounces. That's enough to incinerate you, your dog... and the small house you may be residing in at the time. In exactly thirty hours from now, that plastic explosive will do what it does best. You want that rig removed from your ankle, simply be the sole survivor in thirty hours from now. There are two other ways to detonate an ankle rig. One: You see that red pull tab? Yank on that, and after a ten-second delay, boom. Two: Tamper with the rig, you mess with the wires, you try and pick the lock, instantly, without delay... boom. It's a very simple game. Kill... or die.
