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.

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk As implausible macho nonsense goes, it's surprisingly good. Rated: 3/5 Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Louis Black 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 Oct 25, 2013 Full Review Mark Kermode 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. Oct 21, 2013 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film Overall, it's fun, it's cheesy, it's chaotic and it's good. You gotta love these guys together. Rated: B Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies You’ll have to accept its absurdity and understand that there are several questions you’ll never get sufficient answers for. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Antihrist P It's not anything special, but it's worth a watch. The plot is decent with a nice twist, script and acting are completely fine. It's a decent movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Eugene d Classic straight-up action entertainment. Arnold and Sylvester. Good versus evil. Fists and bullets flying. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review Korra N A fun action thriller with a scene-stealing performance from Jim Caviezel as a strangely compelling warden. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Dominik G this movie triggers my autism somehow Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/15/25 Full Review alan g Sorry Arnie. No go.
