Synopsis: The job of Ray Breslin (Stallone) is to ensure that prisons are escape-proof. His latest (forced) assignment in a futuristic prison will put him in contact with Rottmayer (Schwarzenegger).
Review: The movie starring the two huge action heroes from the 80's was finally made in the 2010's. It is definitely too late for this and Arnold should seriously forget about acting, his time has passed, but the movie is finally not as bad as I was expecting. Arnold has a better role as in his latest appearances in The Expandables 1-2 and The Last Stand, and he acts better as well. Stallone is simply true to himself. The story is not really original although movies purely about jailbreak are rare (I am thinking about The Great Escape, Fortress that I await in Blu-ray, Escape from Alcatraz, Lockout), and they try to compensate for that with a semi-twist at the end. The movie contains quite a few scienific unconsistencies and scenario loopholes, and it is edited in a way that anybody can understand what is going on: when they talk about something that happened earlier, you see it in flasback. This is more and more common in movies, maybe to help the part of the audience that is not always following the movie. All of this make it an average experience.
