Absolutely brilliant

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

WWE Superstar, Randy Orton, stars as failed leader of Bail Enforcement Agency, built by his pop, Eric Roberts, accidentally killing mark, Wes Studi, which leads to him pleading down to involuntary manslaughter so he can get out of jail. Studi's partner in crime (Steven Michael Quezada) sets up a human hunting "competition" pitting Orton against those members of his former bounty hunting team as wealthy gamblers bet on who will survive. One ludicrous moment has Orton agreeing to go for a ride with a friend after just nearly being killed by another pal in a diner, oblivious to the idea that he could be in danger, even as Roberts warns him against it! Big star is the New Mexico locations, and this is essentially a western in all but modern vehicles and dress. Orton has the look of an action star, translating his laconic, gruff-voiced, steely-eyed presence within the wrestling ring to the desert vistas and dusty plains where the sun is unforgiving and green of the earth scarce. Roel Reiné photographs his location grand, capitalizing on the vastness of space from birdseye view long distance sky shots, slow motion and quick edit action sequences sometimes in concert to Peckinpah his film up right. Included is a sniper killing a female deputy while targeting Orton, soon coming after him in a dune buggy with machine gun in hand, and a bomb specialist with traps set up, eventually set off a chain reaction, resulting in a fight over a grenade missing its pin. Orton isn't without his bumps, bruises, scrapes, wounds, and gunshots, so the film doesn't present him always as superhuman. Quezada has a drone in the air as his eye in the sky, with a violence-lusting clientele dropping heavy cash to see bloodshed. A few pals who decided to join forces with Orton instead of kill him plot a course directly for Quezada. Quezada makes himself a contestant, with the sniper still on the hunt, and Roberts soon volunteering to help his son kick some ass. Roberts is a welcome presence, although he doesn't get to kill a whole lot of folks. Bill Stinchcomb is Orton's first true ally with Alex Knight soon getting his head on straight to use his bomb skills as a help not hindrance. Lots of explosions and gunfire, mayhem and Kaboom! result. About what you'd expect: doesn't reinvent the wheel. The hand to hand combat is unimpressive and Orton needed a more noteworthy villain to conquer.

Watching this movie I gained the enlightenment of life and its meaning. As I watched it, I understood the sheer magnitude of diversity in terms of cognition. It may appear by viewing the movie itself that is immensely degenerative and incoherent, and at times you might think, "Why doesn't he rko someone?" And the way this movie exhibits one can not help but wonder, if the director of this movie is consuming oxygen and getting the opulence needed to manifest his cancerous and premature thoughts by this movie, there must be some meaning to life. Life is beautiful, cherishing it as the director did by making this movie, within his microscopic capacity, is something everyone can come across. Rejoice life!

i swear i seriously need to punish myself for this sin. Sin of watching such a pathetic movie. i don't know what shall i say you guys. i downloaded this movie and kept it for Saturday night. thought it would really be good ... but it just backfired and my whole Saturday evening was ruined. and on top of all , i ended up fighting wid my girl , just cos i was frustrated that why did i watch this movie...if you really watch this movie now , even after such a caution , then i m sure that you will end up killing someone near you or will kill yourself...best of luck guys.

Im giving this a 3/10 due to im a WWE fan and i felt sorry Randy Orton got dragged into making this film. The first film was a enjoyable film with great cast and a decent concept this one is the perfect evidence of wwe studios thinking that because the first one worked then we should do another one.......urrmm no!! This time round former bounty hunter (Randy Orton) is on the run from his own team as the condemned tournament gets revamped (his own team get paid off to kill him) and the so called fight to the death begins. The action is lackluster the fight scenes look like they are from the iconic 80s TV programme Knight Rider and not evan veteran Eric Roberts could help this film. If you are truly board and have nothing to watch no games to play and literally have nothing to do then you could kill 90mins and watch this film.
