Any moderately successful action movie is destined to either launch a money-spinning franchise, or to be cast out of multiplexes forever in favor of terrible VOD sequels. Unfortunately, the first-time clash of genre icons Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger in Escape Plan ended up taking the latter path.
The pair had become firm friends after spending the 1980s at loggerheads as they jostled for position at the head of the oiled-up and muscular pack, with Schwarzenegger’s cameo in The Expendables whetting appetites for what was to come in Mikael Håfström’s prison break caper. It was hardly groundbreaking, but Escape Plan was still a ton of fun.
