american variation on battle royale except in this film those put on the island and square off against each other and with bomb lock around their ankle and be adult ( . mostly those with a criminal past await death row ) . stone cold steve austin be a black ops federal special force agent and jack conrad and who be infiltrate a drug cartel when he be catch and imprison in a central american jail and buy and place into the death tournament on a reality internet game . vinnie jones be a psychotic former special ops guy himself and mcstarley and his be for the british government . the collar bomb have a trigger device that will go off if another competitor press the button . those handpicked to compete represent various country and and only one can survive with the prize be their freedom . the corrupt mastermind behind the whole operation be breckel ( robert mammone ) and who look like a self absorb harvard grad with an insatiable desire to exploit a select few to reap million from those crave real violence . he wish to put on a good show by manipulate his audience establish hero and villain and and the weak victim who be unable to outlast the strong and more savage foe . we watch a the condemned fight for survival and try to outwit each other and a weapon be parachute to mcstarley and and his temporary japanese partner saiga ( masa yamaguchi ) purposely by breckel so that they can gain an advantage a a strategy to make his show more thought provoking and gripping . what breckel doesn not expect be how intelligent and resourceful and cunning conrad be and and how he will set his sight on get even with one responsible for place him in this difficult and dangerous situation . breckel underestimates conrad and an even big problem develop a his base camp operation be not too far from the action . also a sub plot be those search for conrad whereabouts and attempt to pinpoint where breckel operation be locate . those expect a bloody good time will be sorely disappointed a the frenetic camera work disrupt any kind of thrill the premise might produce . you see a blizzard of blow flash by a the high octane edit process and constantly move camera remove any possibility of see two competitor exchange real blow in a proper fashion . stone cold steve austin be a credible enough hero and vinnie jones be a unhinged a psycho a ever before and but they be undermine by sloppily stag action sequence which will likely give the intended audience a headache or the desperate craving for dramamine by the time it over . there plenty of hand to hand combat sequence which could really hum if the director and cinematographer could keep their damn camera still long enough for u to enjoy it . perhaps the filmmaker do not have enough faith in their lead to provide realistic combat and but it a shame that and burden by the rather thin story line and it can not deliver on what it suppose to . impressive set with the jungle and dangerous rock lead to rush water a breckel have cameras spread throughout capture the action a it unfold ( . also have men camouflage film some action live on the scene ) . an ongoing story line have breckel deal with the animosity of member of his staff who be find it hard to deal with the violence that be transpire . within the screenplay be an indictment on reality television and the desire for view real and live bloodshed . practically everyone dead by the end of this film .
