Escape Plan (2013)

Very poor. Terrible dialogue (in a bad way - the banter either falls flat or just doesn't make sense), wooden acting (and I do think better performances could have been teased from the two leads by a better director), nonsensical plot, a mass of cliches. It both wastes a load of great character actors (which makes me wonder whether the script was good at one point then got gutted after they signed up) - Neill, Caviezel, D'Onofrio, Amy Ryan - and also has fucking Vinnie Jones and fucking 50 Cent in it (both giving adequate performances as thugs, one a baddy thug and one a goody thug).

Basically, the 20 minute prison escape segment from Face/Off, but done badly and looped a few times.
Rating: Awful
