Film Review: Escape Plan

Genre: Action Mystery Thriller  
 
Cert: 15 cert
 
Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
 
Sex & Nudity: None.

Violence & Gore: Basically a remake of Escape from Alcatraz with more violence. The usual violence you would expect from a Stallone movie stabbing, shooting, and fighting, some of it bloodless.

Profanity: 20 F-words, some hell, damn, ass, and one use of "balls"  

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: none
 
Frightening/Intense Scenes:  The climax and fighting scenes between inmates may be intense.
 
Story: Ray Breslin is the world's foremost authority on structural security. After analyzing every high security prison and learning a vast array of survival skills so he can design escape-proof prisons, his skills are put to the test. He's framed and incarcerated in a master prison he designed himself. He needs to escape and find the person who put him behind bars

Likes : Let me start by saying that the fact alone Schwarzenegger and Stallone are in their 60's doing a film like this is the ultimate reason to watch this, ya lot of film Schwarzenegger is looking his age but in this film he really did fit the role & look the part as well you can still tell there is that off screen bitterness slight although I think they have forgiven the past.
The story goes by smoothly and fast. Dialogues and sequence are really well written. Main characters bring you in the movie and Jim Caviezel is brilliant as the villain in this film he really play a cold Ruthless money hungry warden & Vince Jones was his usual character hard ass nut case and the rest of the characters blending the story pretty well, I will say there are moment that will have you laughing because it dose have the odd comical moments that even I laugh out loud to.
 Although I would say that IMDB slightly under rated this film as I think it at least more than a 7.6 on the story alone it has about 3 twist in the storyline & you never see the ending coming but some moment you can see it come as there is a lot of deception being made in the film which was seriously brilliant for the film, it gave it its edge.
I wasn't expecting this film to be quiet as good as it looked from the trailer but after watching this film I was pleasantly surprised that it was a brilliant film & totally worth going to watch.

Dislikes : There are slight faults in the film like being slight slow at times, although the story was brilliant written I think there should of been a bit more storyline to the way he escape the new prison but you can look past that with the rest of the film.

Overall : Brilliant acting, Great storyline, Good twist in the story.
 
Rating: 4.8 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.1 out of 10 for storyline twist / concept
