This movie looks brutal! Vinnie Jones is an awsome actor and and the theme is kinda cool, similer to Battle Royale in alot of ways. Here are some links

Yep, its another lionsgate/wwe movie co production, with Stone cold steve Austin in the 1st of 3 lead roles in movies he has signed for.
Its going to be very derivative of both 'Battle Royal' and 'The Running man', not to mention 'Gymkata', 'Avenging Force', 'Hard Target' and 'Surviving the game'.

Its a good root concept for an action movie, and Steve Austin is by far my fave wrestler of all time, and has great charisma, so I think it will be great

I seen on the promos for this while watching the Ultimate Fight Night for the UFC on Thursday. I will watch this when it comes to video and hope it is better then John Cena's movie. Stone Cold did good in the Longest Yard as did the other wrestlers especially Kevin Nash.

Well, finally got to see it, and I liked it a lot
I dont think we will ever get more than strightforward action movies from WWE, but then, if i want shakespear I will go to a theatre production.
Stone Cold has great screen presence, and his charisma/character transfers well onto the big screen. No suprises in the plot nor the progression of the film, but it is well acted and a lot of fun. I liked 'The Marine' but this is much better.
