Review of Escape Plan (2013) by Sgt. C — 24 Mar 2015

(58%).

A hark back of sorts to the days of 1993's "Fortress" with a bit of Sly Stallone's own 1989's "Lock up", only with a slightly lighter feel. Arnold Schwarzenegger is much more of a co-star here to Sly meaning he doesn't show up until about 30 minutes in, but as a matter of opinion he's the best aspect of the entire show as he's clearly having a great time and it's also clear that he has not lost any of his brilliant enthusiasm. Even though is isn't too far off being a direct to video flick with it's slightly cheap feel and average plot, any fan of the two big guys should still check this out as it's worth a look for its sheer entertainment value alone.
