We just watched this movie last night and it was somewhat intriguing. WWE's Stone Cold Steve Austin plays Jack Conrad (Jack Riley) CIA. A wealthy producer wants to create a reality show that will be shown on the internet for $49.99. This reality show has 10 prisoners that are vicious and on death-row flown to a isolated island where they are tossed out of helicopter wearing an ankle bracelet with a 30-hour timer and explosives. If you mess around with the bracelet, Boom. If you pull the red tag, 10 seconds beep and then Boom. These condemned killers are scattered across this island that has surveilance cameras all over and a few camera guys in camoflouge to capture the events. There is no possible escape and almost 40 million viewers on the internet watching this. Jack Conrad needs to use his strength and knowledge to remain the last guy standing and gain freedom. It was difficult to watch at some parts due to the violence, but if you are into WWE wrestling then this is a big step up.Read full review
I mean the story line has been done before (The Hunger Games/Battle Royale/etc.). The acting is what you would expect. I picked this movie up for $4. I will say the blu-ray did act a little weird. Even though the read surface looked flawless, it was still a used movie, so there my have been damage that I just couldn't see. I even tried the toothpaste method to make sure the read surface was defect free. The other thing is the movie/blu-ray is so old it came out about when blu-rays first started rolling out. They could have made the blu-ray with a slightly non-standard format or copyright protection that isn't as backwards compatible friendly. Just be warned you might have issues running on modern hardware.

I have been wanting to see this movie and finally saw it recently. With all the reality television out there, this movie definitely makes people wonder if this type could happen. The movie is about a producer that temporarily buys the freedom of a group of prisoners and only one will survive on an island. The one who survives will be issued freedom and money. It is suspenseful, the characters are good, and it was interesting. Not excellent, but worth watching!
Great deleted scenes! Didn't even know this existed! Great find!
