Cast

Production

On November 4, 2014, Randy Orton took time off from WWE television. New Mexico Film Office Director Nick Maniatis announced on November 12, 2014 that The Condemned 2, produced by WWE Studios and Lions Gate Films would begin principal photography in New Mexico.

The film was shot in Albuquerque and Zia Pueblo, New Mexico, from November 14 until December 15, 2014.[1]

Reception

Dennis Harvey of Variety described it as "a belated, barely related sequel generic enough to make the eminently forgettable 2007 original look like an oasis of cinematic personality".[2]
