If you're an action fan and just want to see some brainless wreckage, watch this movie, however if you want to see an action movie with any form of a plot or decent craftsmanship, don't. The unsolved mystery is why Mikael Håfström directed Escape Plan despite hes "area of expertise" being horror. The other interesting thing is how "Plan B" is mentioned throughout the movie but producers failed to come up with one. I respect how Stallone tried bringing Escape Plan's 80's style to next gen, but it was a failure because of its predictable and over used clichés and set-ups. Add insult to injury the whole cast felt lifeless, especially Stallone who kept mumbling a lot of his already below standard dialogueFor what it is, it wasn't worth the almost two hour running time just to get Stallone and Schwarzenegger together.
Final Rating: 3/10

I watched this movie on TV not knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. The cast was great...the story line was great...it kept me on the edge of my seat. I give it the highest rating. You don't have to be a young actor/actress to make a great movie. The main characters, although mostly not in their younger years, still know how to act and do it very, very well. I say to all who have not given this movie a good review "watch it again, you really missed it!!!"

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.
