Larushka Ivan-Zadeh Times (UK) The plot, as incomprehensible as it is uninvolving, has Stallone's utterly unmemorable crack prison-break team banged up in yet another off-the-grid illegal jail called Hades. Rated: 1/5 Jul 20, 2018 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian The whole film is as graceless, lurid and unnecessary as a Stallone painting - but without the winning naivety. Rated: 2/5 Jul 20, 2018 Full Review James Dyer Empire Magazine A waste of Stallone's talent and star power, not to mention 94 minutes of your time. Rated: 1/5 Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Kenneth Seward Jr. IGN Movies Escape Plan 2: Hades fails to recapture what made the previous film a decent watch. It doesn’t offer up any thrills, compelling characters or humor. Rated: 4.8/10 Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming Utterly nonsensical and incomprehensible, Escape Plan 2 is as mindlessly bland an action flick as they come. Rated: 1/5 Feb 6, 2021 Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine The entire nostalgic appeal of the original Escape Plan is gone, replaced by something genuinely terrible and weirdly incompetent. Rated: 2/10 Jan 27, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Marco L (CASTELLANO) Pocas veces una secuela consigue tirar tan por tierra lo poco bueno que dejó su predecesora. Plan de Escape 2: Hades intenta aparentar ser más profunda e inteligente de lo que realmente es, y el resultado es un batiburrillo sin sentido, carente de lógica y de cualquier tipo de interés. La película es un sinsentido desde el principio, con diálogos que pretenden ser filosóficos y acaban sonando ridículos, escenas de acción confusas y una historia que parece improvisada sobre la marcha. Stallone, perdido en un guion sin rumbo, apenas tiene momentos para brillar, y el resto del reparto tampoco logra levantar el vuelo. Lo peor es la sensación constante de que todo es un pretexto para rellenar metraje sin ningún cariño ni esfuerzo real. Ni entretiene, ni emociona, ni siquiera provoca risa involuntaria: simplemente aburre y decepciona. Si alguien te recomienda verla, quizá deberías replantearte la amistad. Un despropósito que solo sirve como advertencia de cómo no hacer una secuela. (ENGLISH) Rarely does a sequel manage to so thoroughly destroy the little good its predecessor left behind. Escape Plan 2: Hades tries to look deeper and smarter than it really is, and the result is a senseless mess, lacking logic or any real interest. The film is nonsense from the very beginning, with dialogues that aim for philosophical but end up sounding ridiculous, action scenes that are confusing, and a story that feels made up on the spot. Stallone, lost in a directionless script, barely has any moments to shine, and the rest of the cast doesn't manage to lift it either. The worst part is the constant feeling that everything is just an excuse to fill time without any real effort or care. It doesn't entertain, it doesn't excite, and it doesn't even manage to be laughably bad – it just bores and disappoints. If someone recommends it to you, you might want to rethink that friendship. A total disaster that only serves as a warning of how not to make a sequel. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Izrael R Terrible movie it is all over the place and I couldn't keep up with it. The first movie Escape Plan was good but this one is awful not worth watching. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Kyle M Your ordinary non-theatrical action flick with questionable impulses from refused notetaking for a slightly-hooked, downplaying, formulaically predictable mindset in favor for tech-savvy macho self-contradicting its strategic play, despite characterized performative intrigue. (B-) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Jack P You can tell it’s bad pretty quick. Fun for the background… kind of. The tech stuff is over the top Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Gorptholemew T 🍀 0.3/10 Jesus Christ i’m going to fucking commit a crime after wasting an hour and a half for nothing. Cinemas art, arts cinema, right yeah OK explain this. I’m sorry I can’t understand why anybody would find enjoyment out of this it feels like getting your nut getting sucked off by a vacuum, but instead it sucks your whole entire dick off and you die from shock and blood loss. I don’t think I’m OK after watching this film. I feel like nothing has been accomplished. I feel as if I torture myself, but for what purpose?. do I just sit here consuming nothing for the sake of hatred?. do I wanna be a hater for the purpose of passion…? yes. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Mike M Thought maybe the sequel would have had the previous failure to learn from and improve. Nope. Dismal lighting and camera work with a convoluted contrived story line. No suspense - only the confusion of wondering "surely this can get better"?
