Escape Plan

Escape artist Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) makes his living finding glitches in the security of federal prisons by following his “How-To” mantra: 1) learn the layout, 2) establish routine, and 3) have help. His fame attracts the CIA, which now wants him to attempt escaping from its prison for dangerous international criminals. Unfortunately for Ray, he quickly learns he’s not on an even playing field, and seeks help from fellow inmate Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) to formulate an unconventional plan.

ClearPlay In Action!

Escape Plan has the expected large number of profanities (80 to 90) which ClearPlay deftly handles. There are scenes of torture that are trimmed, and substantial violence once the escape begins. The ClearPlayed version cuts many violent images, including bloody gunplay and a savagely burning body. Even ClearPlayed, the result is a bit dark for younger audiences.

Is Escape Plan a ‘break-out’ hit?...

We’re certainly not talking Oscar-caliber entertainment with Escape Plan, but the teaming of Stallone and Schwarzenegger is fun. There are some wonderful surprises along the way, and I rather enjoyed this actioner more than many of these stars’ films from their heyday in the ’80s.
