I know folks, this movie has been done a bunch of times in one form or another. Heck, it was even done on Gilligan's Island to some extent, but I just had to rent it.
I wanted to see it in the movies, but was on call, and it was here a week. It has Vinnie Jones, and Steve Austin in it, so you know there's going to be some action in it.
Breckin, the rich movie producer, decides to produce an internet PPV third world prisoners on death row. These guys are the scum of scum. So an island in New Guinae is found, they're dropped onto the islhelicopter, and the games begin.
vinnie Jones plays an ex British special forces, who's specialty is wiping out African villages, raping the women, and genocide.
Steve Austin is a mystery man, stuck in a Dominican Republic prison, for 3 murders of drug dealers.
The others are people you've barely heard of, so I didn't pay mution to their past, because they didnt have star billing, and you knew they were gonna die.
The script was somewhat predictable. The ending was pretty good though, so I'll give there. I thought some of the kill scenes were creative, and some were , but overall, not too bad.
The acting was what you expected. You got Vinnie Jones, ex soccer star, and Steve Austin, an ex wrestler. Rick Hoffman was good as Goldy. He's in alot of stuff, and your recognize him immediately.
The set was beautiful. A nice mix of jungle and beach. The buildings were believeable that they found on there. The obligatory burnt out plane looked good.
All in all, it was an entertaining movie. I'm sure the Oscars will shy away from it. I'm sure the Razzies won't. But for what it's worth, I guarantee you'll enjoy this movie more than a few of the Oscar nominated ones lol.
I give it 8 machete's out of 10 for enjoyment purposes
