Critics Consensus

The Condemned is a morally ambiguous, exceedingly violent and mostly forgettable action film.

An action film about a hyper-violent reality contest that quickly devolves into a monotonous series of hand-to-hand combat scenes.

3/6

The Condemned sprays its fury wide: media manipulators, political opportunists and technology-pacified couch potatoes are among the collaterally damaged. Paying audiences don't get off so easy either.

Cheesy enough to satisfy your B-movie cravings in half Grindhouse's running time.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying a balls to the wall guy film where muscle bound behemoths blow shit up and fight to the death...

3/10

The film even attempts to make moral judgments about how watching a fight to the death is wrong, which ends up alienating anybody that sat their butt down in the theater in the first place.

It's worth a watch if you're into ten dangerous convicts trying to kill each other, and your lead is Stone Cold. It's not perfect or pretty, but damn, it's worth it

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen with it cynical preachy message about nonviolence, when it's being so hypocritical using a ton of violence. Plus this movie is super unpleasant to get through with two attempted/successful sexual assaults in the entire movie, plus the acting is abysmal

This is a terrible steaming pile of mediocrity and bs. Some of the worst acting I have ever seen- seriously. I have seen rusty nails and bricks with better acting skills, more charisma, and likeability than these actors. Asinine plot, storyline, and script. The dumbest dialogue ever. Even the action scenes are boring. Overall, this is an unbelievable, unconvincing, unrealistic, and stupid movie from start till finish.
