I loved the first movie, but never got around to watching this one. Now I am upset I watched it. The entire vibe from the first that I loved is gone and much of this movie is painfully meh action.

Rating: 1/5 - 55% - Skip

A much weaker attempt, this. 'The Condemned 2' struggles to bring any excitement. It's very much a standalone sequel, given just one line of dialogue connects the two films.

Randy Orton is likeable in the lead role as Will, though his acting prowess leaves a lot to be desired unfortunately - there's no scene of his that really sticks out. I did enjoy Eric Roberts here though, he always basically acts the same but does manage to bring a sturdy performance. Steven Michael Quezada, who I will always have time for due to his work on 'Breaking Bad', sadly doesn't make for a strong villain.

The premise is just as obvious as the preceding production, just without the lure that the predecessor has. A great deal of the dialogue falls flat too, most notably towards the end where they literally correct each other on the time... The conclusion itself is rather poor.

There is one thing I actually seriously appreciated though, and that is the score by Trevor Morris and Ted Reedy which is excellent - all the more impressive given they didn't have much to work with.

A disappointing follow-up.

Garbage nothing like the first.

i like Randy Orton but this movie was horrible on soo many freaking levels.
