Review of The Condemned (2007) by Tinah M — 23 Dec 2008
A relentless and brutal throwback to the weary testosterone action films of the 80's, this features some bonehead as the new Arnie. Apart from the fresh visuals and some carefully thought out lighting set-ups, the rest was just a round of pointless and nasty carnage designed to make the point that we are addicted to violence and should be ashamed of ourselves before laying on another dollop of expletive-filled rape and mutilation, which kind of nullifies the message somewhat.
Cynical and shallow, not the sort of film I would recommend to anyone other than a meth-addict or a biker. 1 star for the camerawork.
