Escape Plan (2013) - February 4, 2014

This was pretty enjoyable. Arnold is always great but Stallone needs to hang it up sooner or later.

Stallone has been a hero of mine ever since i was a kid and watched "Rocky"for the first time. I've seen every theatrical film of Sly's first showing on opening day since Rocky IV. Yes, even the REALLY bad ones..(Including "Stop or my mom will shoot") And I really hated "Bullet to the Head"

But "Escape Plan" was a really fun watch, and I agree that Arnold was really having a good time. The interaction between Sly & Arnold was a real treat.

There's a scene where Arnold picks up a machine gun & the look on his face when he starts firing off rounds made me smile from ear to ear.

Such a fun film, definite pick-up!

Rocky 4 is my favorite movie

Escape Plan hasn't even opened in theaters here in Austarila although it will later in the month, so I can't wait to watch this on the big screen. Hows this performing at the box office overall? Because I know that Bullet to the Head didn't even make it to theaters down here even though it was previously announced to, but was canned because of the poor results at the BO.

The Last Stand only had a very limited theatrical run down here...

Australia isn't getting Escape Plan in theaters due to poor box office. It's only made about 23 million here in the U.S. It's made around 63 million overseas for a total WW gross of around 87 million.

I feared that would happen, disappointing to say the least. Hate to say it but Sly and Arnold have no where near enough support to keep making theatrical films, too many people don't care, that is apart from a pre established series or The Expendables.

Day 1 blind buy. No questions asked.

I know man, it sucks. I saw Escape Plan on opening day, first showing. Not only was it in the smallest screening room at my local theater (which holds MAYBE 80 people), there were only 5 of us there, myself included. I didn't even feel like I was at the movies.

It was admirable, but ultimately unworthy of being a Sly and Arnold film.

I thought 'Escape Plan' felt too much like Stallone's other prison escape flick "Lock Up", and even a little like "Fortress". The reveal of where they were imprisoned was a cool twist, though.
