Review of Escape Plan (2013) by Jy S — 20 May 2014
The Tomb becomes a place of interest in Mikael Hafstrom's Escape Plan.Spending most of its 110 minute run time in a prison, the film takes advantage of an intriguing story to keep the momentum going.
The game of cat and mouse that takes place for most of the film, but unfortunately not all, is what makes Escape Plan as good as it is. It is the final act where, despite a solid plot twist, things turn into a run of the mill action piece.
When it comes to the violence and action, there isn't a much to be cringe-worthy about. Sure, bullets do fly; however, the strong language contributes just as much to the R-rating.It's hard to be disappointed with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger heading the picture; and there isn't much to be disappointed about because they deliver as expected.
Both are locked up by a warden to despise, played by Jim Caviezel. Sam Neill should be disappointed with the character he is given.Escape Plan starts off with its own identity. It just doesn't finish with one.
