Review – The Condemned

Here we have The Running Man updated for the 21st century. Which is to say that it’s a killer game show in which the contestants have to murder each other in order to survive. Only now it’s being done on a remote tropical island (a la Survivor) and netcast rather than broadcast. The explosions are bigger. The costumes are less dorky. Still, it’s the same mix of macho action movie, former professional wrestlers and random moralizing about video violence from a violent video. Mildly amusing
