Escape Plan

I haven't watched an action movie in quite some time. I don't much like them anymore because they are devoid of actual substance with a flimsy plot line and the characters are simply pawns for beating up and shooting up others. 2013's Escape Plan featuring Stallone and Arnie, Hollywood's dynamic duo of action, really went all out. The premise of the movie is absurd. Ray Breslin (played by Sylvester Stallone) escapes from prisons for a living. The movie revolves around him trying to escape from the "The Tomb" and his struggle against Hobbes who is both admirer and arch-nemesis. By the end of the movie, hundreds of prison guards have been slaughtered while Stallone and Schwarzenegger have minor nicks and cuts. In the last 3 minutes of the movie, you learn that it turns out to be an inside job by Breslin's business associate, everyone is connected and every secret is revealed (all of which you could see coming from a mile away).

On a lighter note, huge shout out to 50 Cent who stole the show in this one and Sam Neill, my main man from Jurassic Park!
