The Condemned (2007) Starring Stone Cold Steve Austin as Jack Conrad

      Booyah!!  The Condemned! Make no mistake, that Stone Cold Steve Austin is a bad motherfucker. Totally proving himself as a perfectly viable action star in this classic tale of prisoners from around the world, given one last chance at freedom if they are willing and able to go the distance against their peers, each handpicked for their brutality and blood lust, to be the last man standing on some crazy island somewhere.
       The old Texas Rattlesnake plays the death row inmate and bad ass killer with the heart of gold and the secret past.  A rivalry with the dude that played Bullet Tooth in Lock Stock flourishes into a personal vendetta, of course, leaving a trail of bodies and collateral damage in its wake.  Its an old and constantly rehashed plot, sure.  I don't care.  I've watched hundreds of these, and I'll keep watching them.  And when my time inevitably comes to bow hunt my nemesis through the woods on some island someday so that I can make it back to my beautiful wife while the bittersweet lyrics of some forgotten 90s rock band fill the air, I'm gonna be ready for that shit...and that's the bottom line, because Stone Cold Said So!

EPIC DIALOGUE   BAD GUY:  What were you doing in El Salvador?
                                 
                                   STONE COLD:  Working on my tan.

                                   BAD GUY:  Why did you blow the building up?

                                    STONE COLD:  It was blocking my sun.

(Oh ho ho! CLASSIC!)

No we can't be buddies,
My head is bloody....boom! Condemned!
