Escape Plan Reviews: Should You Make a Run for It? >>Hollywood

Diposting oleh blog on Jumat, 18 Oktober 2013

Escape Plan stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone and, really, that's all you need to know.

The veteran (read: old) actors star as prisoners who devise, well, an escape plan in order to get out of the most well-fortified prison ever constructed... but who really cares?

Are you really planning to see this film for the acting or the plot? It's Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. You wanna see fists fly and things blow up, right?

So, following our recap of Carrie movie reviews and The Fifth Estate reviews, here's a look at what critics are saying about Sly and Arnold in Escape Plan:

"Escape Plan" is mostly a gray, thudding metal machine of throwback exploitation, but the goateed, goofy Ah-nold is so happy to be in the thick of an old-school bruiser again that he makes it feel like the dumb-fun flashback party it is. - The Los Angeles Times

Schwarzenegger seems to be the only one here who correctly takes the film as a lark. - USA Today

Stallone and Schwarzenegger are stuck doing the best they can with a script that was clearly intended for very different types of performers, and that isn't quite as clever as it thinks it is. - Crave Online

It's not a movie about two old guys who come back, but a straight-ahead action movie meant to be taken on its own terms. - The San Francisco Chronicle

What do aging action stars do in their retirement? Nothing. Because they never retire. <
