The leader of a group of security specialists trained in the art of breaking prisons, Ray Breslin, is kidnapped Xu Ren, a friend and the most active and active and hidden inside the most powerful prison and rigidity, Ray must be tracked and works to restore.
Stephen C. Miller can only cobble together a patchwork of half-realised ideas and poorly executed set pieces into a frenetic, largely indecipherable collage of shapes and sounds.
Instead of putting in exactly the same amount of effort and creating an original film, the men and women behind Escape Plan 2 were so risk-averse that they thought there's a bigger audience for new Escape Plan movies.
I admit that Escape Plan 2 isn't very good. It's a much cheaper movie than the last installment, and the absence of the Stallone/Schwarzenegger chemistry denies is sole reason for existence.
Stallone's here, kind of, but "Escape Plan 2" doesn't have much interest in his participation, going the easy-peasy B-movie route to cough up an inexpensive, easily marketable sequel that's led by actor Xiaoming Huang.
Stallone is in it just enough to make it worth watching for die-hard fans, but don't let the marketing fool you into thinking him and Bautista are anything more than supporting players in this one.
