Ray Breslin (Stallone) is an expert at escaping from prison. He accepts a job at a high tech prison which is off the grid, i.e. doesn't officially exist. However, Ray is double crossed and is now in a situation where he must escape to survive. The film includes fellow inmate Arnold Schwarzenegger and Vinnie Jones as a sadistic guard. This is not a simple grunt escape film, but develops levels of complexity with twists.The film is an action drama with some thrills. By modern action standards it moves slow so it can develop the story. There is a rivalry banter mixed into the dialog between Arnold and Stallone for those who pay attention.Worth a view for old Arnie and Sly fans. Don't pay too much. Should be a bargain film soon after it goes to DVD.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

Prison Break had potential. A much awaited team-up between some accomplished action stars, shiny set pieces and an intriguing premise. The execution is sloppy, but still entertaining on occasion. Its premise is never fully explored and mostly glossed over and the plot is utterly predictable. Most of the action won't really make jaws drop, but Schwarzenegger and Stallone give dedicated performances. You won't remember most of it, but you'll definitely enjoy it.

At last these two titans of the action film gender meet in a most entertaining movie. Rambo meets Terminator! And if you are keen to action films this will not disappoint you because it's charged with action practically from the first scene. With a quite complex plot in its structure, this movie takes you to an environment where our heroes require sharp thinking, quick, elaborated and many times courageous moves with the strategy of a master chess player in thinking and the skills of a samurai on the plentiful action scenes. I was delighted with the structure of the story where many diverse and apparently unknown elements come together to make the intricate plot so that both Sylvester and Arnold can develop their precious capacity in to the full and entertain us with what they can do best without an empty or boring moment. As extra positive bonus we have the likes of Jim Caviezel who delivers an astounding performance as the main villain of the film impersonated as a cold, calculating, cynical and bloody serious prison director and last but not least Sam Neill as the subdued prison doctor. We also enjoy the excellent performances of Vincent D'Onofrio as a treacherous and misleading agent, Faran Tahir as the religious prisoner and Amy Ryan as Stallone's sexy companion and colleague. This is top entertainment and you will be happy that your money was invested in seeing and enjoying this film.

Last year, it was The Last Stand and T: Genisys and this year I planned to watch Escape Plan.To me, it seemed like PB series whipped with Lock Up (Stallone facing bright lights) and Face/Off (Remember, Nicolas Cage jumping from the ship?)The two oldies did a fine job - Escape Plan would have been one of the biggest movies of the year if it had been released in the 90's, but unfortunately it is too late. The 90's nostalgia card has already been played in the Expendables movies.An honorable mention of Jim Caviezel - saw him in Escape Plan..forgot that he was the same actor in Monte Cristo! 🕵
