I think you're talking about Mean Machine (2001) which, as Once A Villain points out, is itself a remake of the 1974 "The Longest Yard" from the US (to confuse matters, this was released in the UK as The Mean Machine
- I remember it being on TV under that name when I was there as a kid).
Anyway, I haven't seen the current version of the Longest Yard but I find it hard to imagine that it could possibly be worse than 2001's Mean Machine - an absolute dog of a movie.
