Tough and chiseled Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) knows how to infiltrate a prison -- and bust out of one. His latest job leads to a double-cross, leaving him stuck in a high-tech facility with the worst that society has to offer. Luckily for Ray, he meets Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), an inmate who secretly helps him hatch a plot to win his freedom. Only sadistic warden Hobbes (Jim Caviezel) stands in the way of the two men successfully making it out alive.

Critics Consensus

As much fun as it is to see Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger team up onscreen, Escape Plan fails to offer much more than a pale imitation of 1980s popcorn thrills.

As implausible macho nonsense goes, it's surprisingly good.

Rated: 3/5

Austin Chronicle

The most surprising thing about this movie, outside of its length, is just how unsurprising it really is, especially regarding its tired climax.

Rated: 1.5/5

Observer (UK)

This functional thumper generally gets the job done, plodding merrily, if unremarkably, through the generic set pieces, making a passable fist of well-worn material.

Overall, it's fun, it's cheesy, it's chaotic and it's good. You gotta love these guys together.

Deep Focus Review

After the finale degrades into a violent shootout and leaves us dissatisfied, not even solid portrayals by Stallone and Schwarzenegger make Escape Plan anything beyond a very, very guilty piece of actionized entertainment.

Rated: 2.5/4

You’ll have to accept its absurdity and understand that there are several questions you’ll never get sufficient answers for.

Silly but fun enough. Sly is awful and it’s hard to decipher what he’s saying most the time. Annie does a reasonable job. Watched on SKY Cinema.

It was ok, kind of nonsensical at times, even from the first ten minutes when he breaks out.

Silly flick I watched last night. Bad acting by all sadly. Screenplay is weak. Too bad because I like the premise of the story. Could have been pretty great. The dumbest scene ever is when Sylvester Stallone (who is supposed to be a genius but can’t even figure out he’s been duped by overly friendly Schwarzenegger) fashions a sextant out of paper, a pen, and glasses lenses. Ok so let go with it…a few moments later a fellow prisoner uses it to determine latitude from inside an open air prison pit. Lol. That is impossible. You need to see the horizon to use a sextant. I hate when move makers do stuff like that. Bottom line this is watchable but silly and at the end you will be laughing out loud.
