Saw "Escape Plan" last $5 Tuesday. It's another of those ol'-guy action hero movies; it starred Stallone and Schwarzenegger. Was pretty durn good. We old guys can really rock it every once in a while!
Not the perfect Guys' Movie: No car crashes. Maybe a couple things blew up, but I can't remember for sure. So, I guess, any big bangs weren't that big or bangy. No babes, no sex. (Yeah, I know. You're asking, "Why the heck do we wanna see it, then?")
'Cuz it has a nifty premise, which I'm not telling you about here, and it's pretty durn exciting. Besides, it has enough beatings, fights and gunplay to make up for its shortfalls. And none of the heroes take their shirts off. Can't beat that!
Moms, your boys might like it. Not particularly bloody. Language is pretty tame. But you probably won't — unless, of course, you're the sort of woman who likes bare-knuckle fights.
If you don't look too hard at some of the technical slip-ups, this is a good action flick for guys. I give it 5 knuckle sandwiches, 1 pretzel for plot twist, and 2 treadmills for action — oh, and 1 anchor.
Great way to spend an afternoon. Go see it!
