Critics Consensus

As much fun as it is to see Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger team up onscreen, Escape Plan fails to offer much more than a pale imitation of 1980s popcorn thrills.

As implausible macho nonsense goes, it's surprisingly good.

Austin Chronicle

The most surprising thing about this movie, outside of its length, is just how unsurprising it really is, especially regarding its tired climax.

Rated: 1.5/5

Observer (UK)

This functional thumper generally gets the job done, plodding merrily, if unremarkably, through the generic set pieces, making a passable fist of well-worn material.

Deep Focus Review

After the finale degrades into a violent shootout and leaves us dissatisfied, not even solid portrayals by Stallone and Schwarzenegger make Escape Plan anything beyond a very, very guilty piece of actionized entertainment.

Rated: 2.5/4

Keith & the Movies

You’ll have to accept its absurdity and understand that there are several questions you’ll never get sufficient answers for.

Battleship Pretension

The problem is that everything else, including characterizations, motivations, humor, a sense of place and a point of view - all the things that are a part of a complete and balanced feature - is empty and mind-numbing...

Not sure what people were expecting but it hit the marks for me. These 2 icons play well off of each other and it wasn't just blowing stuff up. It has a good story, interesting characters, good pacing. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes escape movies.

I expected much more planning of the actual escape than just two action actors talking about escaping a prison. This movie has a great idea for a story it was just poorly casted and didn't really deliver on a great idea for a plot.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Thoroughly entertaining tosh. Loved Jim Caviezel as the sadistic warden playing against type as he strives to keep Breslin locked up in the waterbound jail. I had to watch the movie 2-3 times to take in all the information.
