Miller, whose numerous include such forgettable B-movies as Extraction, First Kill and Arsenal, fails to bring any vitality or visual coherence to the action sequences, while Miles Chapman’s screenplay lacks the doses of wit that made the original film sporadically amusing. Shu receives the main focus for much of this installment, although we hear frequent voiceovers by Stallone in which he issues metaphysical advice on the order of “You move together, everything flows as one.” The film includes numerous fight scenes, since the warden has a policy of forcing his inmates to engage in violent cage matches, the prizes of which are time spent in a virtual environment, “Sanctuary,” where they can enjoy some relaxing fantasy. Ray also calls in his friend Trent for some extra muscle, which makes sense considering the character is played by Bautista. So it’s naturally up to Ray and his associates, including holdover Hush (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson) and newbies Luke (Jesse Metcalfe) and Abigail (Jaime King) to rescue their comrades. It seems the evil warden (is there any other kind?) who dubs himself “The Zookeeper” (Titus Welliver) desperately wants the patent for a new satellite system designed by Yusheng. His skills naturally come in handy when a member of his team, Shu (Huang Xiaoming), is kidnapped along with his tech wunderkind cousin Yusheng (Chen Tang) and thrown into a high-security facility whose name can be guessed from the film’s title.

Be forewarned.Īs before, Stallone plays Ray Benson, a security expert who specializes in advising prisons in how to prevent its inmates from escaping. And although Stallone and Dave Bautista are top-billed here and prominently in the advertising, their onscreen time is limited. Such is not the case, alas, with Escape Plan 2, its misbegotten sequel marked by the indignity of not receiving a theatrical release.

The 2013 Sylvester Stallone/Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle Escape Plan was no masterpiece, but it had a reasonably clever concept and offered the opportunity to see the two aging action stars banter in enjoyable fashion.
