"Escape Plan"

Two Expendables team up together, in this action thriller which sees Stallone as an expert at breaking out of prisons, and highlighting the security flaws to the authorities.
He has to at times endure months in prison, examining the guard routines, the structure, and finding those all important ways for him to get out. Ray and his team are approached by a Government body to go into a Super prison. The stakes are high, the Prison said to be inescapable but the fee is high. Naturally Ray undertakes the biggest escape of his career.

As one would expect, things are not as cut and dried as they seem, and someone, somewhere wants Ray to languish in Prison for the rest of his life. If it seems like I am concentrating on Sly's character, that is because Arnie does not show up til about 30 minutes into the movie. He playing a low life crimial who may or may not know the location of a Crime king pin, and the Warden is keen to obtain the information.
Ray Breslin and his new best friend Rottmayer work together to find a way out, trying to outwit the Warden and his team of guards led by Vinnie Jones.

There is very little to commend about this film. The teaming of Stallone and Schwarzenegger should be a dream, after the massive success (in my opinion) of "The Expendables" movies. But alas here they both fall flat on their faces. The story is silly, the action is dull, what little there is, the cast seem to be stuck in first gear. As to what on earth Sam Neill is doing in the picture Lord only knows. An actor of his calibre deserves far better. And poor Vinnie Jones, well the less said about his work on the film the better.

All I can say after seeing this is that "The Expendables 3" cannot come quickly enough.....4 out of 10
