Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

A different way of telling a story

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Finally, Hollywood has come up with a decent film that holds your attention, is well written, thoughtfully planned out, and suspenseful. I enjoyed seeing the 2 action actors together, and they have lost nothing with age - in fact improved! A good watch.

Americans are most tastelest people in the world. the is good

Breslin did not design the prison himself. Hobbes designed the prison based on the book of Breslin's research. If he designed it himself he would not need to decipher its flaws, as he would know them. Neither would he design a prison which could be escaped from! Also it is not likely he would publish his research on how to escape from prisons! Anybody could then get his book and make use of its solutions.

Although action film aficionados have waited decades to see Schwarzenegger/Stallone team-up, and when it finally arrived (at least 20 years past both of the action giants' prime) it was rather dull. The age of both stars is not the reason at all, why the film falls flat, rather the fault lies in generic and trivial script and unimaginative direction by Mikael Håfström. Both stars were nearly 70 when they shot the film, but their charisma and ability to raise some hell is 100% there. It is unfortunate that after all these years waiting to see these two pair up, and we get served half baked product. Besides seeing Sly and Arnold share screen together 'Escape Plan' has very few to offer - there are some B-movie worthy thrills, quite well disguised plot twists (considering the whole quality of the script), not enough memorable one-liners or witty exchanges between the two greats. The material definitely should have been better for these two charismatic action idols. And supporting cast, though not bad, is exactly what you expect when you see these actors in this kind of movies - Jim Caviezel as sinister, intelligent villain, Sam Niell as smart and sympathetic character, Vinnie Jones as raging sadistic lunatic, Amy Ryan as some woman, and finally 50 Cent as can't act.Conclusively I can say that 'Escape Plan' hits the taste buds of '80s action fans like a vegetarian. Alright to watch it once so you can say you have seen it, but not very memorable.
