When a structural-security authority finds himself set up and incarcerated in the world’s most secret and secure prison, he has to use his skills to escape with help from the inside. (IMDb)
The “escape plan” aspect here doesn’t disappoint; the film is full of cool and exciting tricks and cons, complete with a couple of badass Stallone voice-overs. Elsewhere though, the dialogue often feels contrived, the acting stiff, the bad guy cliche, the secondary good guys (Ryan and 50 Cent) inconsequential, and the final twist an unnecessary complication. But even with all of the aforementioned said, this remains an entertaining film punctuated by a few classic action-movie one-liners.
6.5/10 (Alright)

this flick was… OK. just ok. never need to see it again. that scene with Arnold yelling in German (?) was pretty great, though (the distraction scene)

hah yeah that was great! not a remarkable flick, but a fun one! and I’m a sucker for prison escape movies, so perhaps I enjoyed it more than some.
