![]() ![]() Yes, Escape Plan 3 is more of the same low production value action shenanigans that Escape Plan 2 displayed, only this time there are a few minor improvements, i.e. That’s how they get you, you see – they twist the formula and do what they’ve done before, only slightly differently so you don’t twig straight away. has also kidnapped Ray’s colleague and now love interest Abigail Ross (Jaime King – My Bloody Valentine 3D) and so Ray contacts his friend Trent DeRosa (Bautista) and together they break into the heavily guarded prison with the bodyguard and also the former boyfriend of the Chinese hostage to clear the whole thing up.ĭo you see what they did there? Ray Breslin is breaking IN to a prison – not out, like he has done in the previous two movies. Just to add that personal touch, Clark Jr. (Devon Sawa – Final Destination), the son of Breslin’s former colleague who double-crossed him in the original film and who is slightly annoyed that his father was left to die in a shipping container (remember that?). In this direct sequel to the original, Ray Breslin (Stallone) is hired to infiltrate a disused prison where the daughter of a Hong Kong billionaire is being held by Lester Clark Jr. Escape Plan: Nobody Asked For This (that last one may have been made up), which sees Sylvester Stallone feign some interest for more than the 15 minutes he was on-screen in the previous movie, of which this movie barely references.

You watched 2013s Escape Plan because it brought together iconic action stars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger in a co-headliner that was a fun blast of exaggerated violence that harked back to their glory days (despite being tinged with sadness that it wasn’t made 25 years ago while both actors were still huge box office draws).

Security expert Ray Breslin and his cohorts have to break into a prison to rescue a billionaire’s daughter from the clutches of a former colleague’s son out for revenge. Starring Sylvester Stallone, Dave Bautista, Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson, Jin Zhang, Harry Shum Jr., Jaime King, and Devon Sawa.
