What Parents Need to Know
About The Condemned
Parents need to know that teens who are into pro wrestling may be drawn to this brutal action movie by star "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. The film -- which centers on the idea of a fight-to-the-death reality TV show -- is packed with aggressive, bloody, loud "realistic" violence: Characters punch, kick, throttle, body slam, bite, and head-butt each other in fights (not to mention cut throats and grab crotches), and weapons include guns, knives, chains, clubs, and ropes. People are thrown roughly from helicopters (one is gruesomely impaled on a stake, while others plunge into water or hit land, hard) and fall from cliffs and against rocky mountainsides. Two men rape a female contestant (the scene is indistinct on screen but causes visible upset). Language includes many uses of "f--k" and plenty of other swear words. Lots of cigarette smoking and a bit of drinking.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about violence on television and, increasingly, in Web videos. What are the effects of watching such violence? What's the best way to deal with this ongoing problem? Should access to programming be limited or regulated? If so, who should be in charge of regulating it -- studios? Parents? The government? Should there be fines or other costs for breaking regulation rules? How does this movie make a case against media violence even as it delivers exactly that? Families can also discuss reality TV. Do you think any reality show would ever go this far? Why or why not?

VERY GOOD 10/10 * * * * *
im a girl of 17 and i really liked the movie, it isnt a movie where you will fall asleep on it, there was a lot od=f violence in it, but it was the goal of it, a lot a poeple say that it was to much etc... but you all know what kind of movie it is, and if you dont like any movie like that just dont go and see it. finally, if you like any movie with action, it is the right one to see, it doesnt seem to be made by computer like a lot of movies we know. i completly understant why it is 16 and over, but before seeing it we are all aware that there is violence. so dont complain I REALLY LIKED IT
