Grammatically you can take that title either way.
From the opening wooden, emotionless Austin/Parole Board dialogue placed over generic prison scenery to the generic finale with classic 80s inspirational synthesizer music the film was a mess. Oh and did I mention they dubbed in cheering that sounded like it came from a packed arena into a scene where there were clearly only 50-60 people there?
Sub-plots were cliche, dialogue was bad, Austin was okay aside from a few parts but, the movie was in tone somewhere between an episode of Walker: Texas Ranger and the worst scene in The Wrestler. It had 2 fights that were entertaining though. My advice is to watch it online/DVD so you can fast forward the needless talking.
*note: I actually liked The Condemned a lot.
I wanted so bad to like this. I think The Expendables will rock though.
