Yes, they don’t think much of the audience to tie two characters together, so they just use the same full name and add Jr. The reason for him having a Breslin beef is a tale of revenge which leads back to Stallone’s character in the original Escape Plan, when he did away with Lester Clark ( Vincent D’Onofrio). The baddie this time, is Lester Clark Jr, played by Devon Sawa, who was the lead in Final Destination, I remember. Now it’s just Escape Plan 3, or Escape Plan 3: The Extractors, depending on the territory.ĭevil’s Station is actually an abandoned facility… and for a place that’s abandoned, it strangely has a great deal of functional electric lights. Instead, the prison in question this time, is Devil’s Station, in Latvia, which makes sense of the film’s original full title, Escape Plan 3: Devil’s Station. You know the prison built on a ship in the original film? Now, the plan is to build one UNDER the desert… but that’s just mentioned early on before being completely forgotten about. And I’ll suffer so you don’t have to… unless it’s actually a GOOD film? And when was the last time Sylvester Stallone, as Breslin, made a good film? Erm… possibly The Expendables 2. So why am I watching No.3? Because it’s the conclusion to a trilogy.

However, that film was my worst movie of 2018.

For the latest Sky TV packages and prices, click the button below.Escape Plan 3 comes fairly hot on the heels of Escape Plan 2: Hades, as that came out around this time last year. Don’t have Sky?

With Stallone taking a more central role and a feel that they might actually leave these films alone now, if you want to take a chance on this, you’ll probably get a kick out of it.Įscape Plan 3 is available on Sky Cinema. While Escape Plan 3 lacks the unique cinematic talents of Pete Wentz, after his incendiary cameo in the second film, it still remains a better experience, if not something you could necessarily call a “good” film. It’s also fun to see Stallone and Bautista interact they don’t get much to do together but when they do, they have an old-school, weathered energy that feels like a dying breed in action cinema. Sawa repeatedly” but has a pure raw feel that looks like it pure, straight hurt. walking or crawling around various darkly lit spaces (the film retains the second’s really quite awful colour palette).Ī final fight scene set in a prison cell does feel like Stallone was given the direction “monologue about having a bad dad and punch Mr. Escape Plan 3 is a film made seemingly on the cheap with a runtime padded out by multiple scenes of Devon Sawa (repeating for those in the back: yes, Devon Sawa) being threatening by making his prisoners tell him folk tales and give him language lessons and Stallone, Bautista and co. That’s not to say that we have the best action film of the year here, however, oh no. He and his team, including Trent DeRosa (Dave Bautista) and Hush (50 Cent), must pull off a rescue mission. While there are new protagonists around him, this instalment feels much more of a piece with the first and the story follows on quite nicely from it – security expert Ray Breslin (Stallone) is hired to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Hong Kong tech mogul from a formidable Latvian prison, while Breslin’s girlfriend (Jaime King) is also captured. For a start, Stallone seems to actually be the focus this time. It is a credit to co-writer/director John Herzfeld that he has made a film that is better than the second and seems to right wrongs before the reviews of the previous instalment had even been seen. With the third getting the green light before the second was even released, The Extractors has the air of an apology before a misdeed had even been made apparent. The second was only of note for Dave Bautista’s character’s bizarre obsession with AirPods and Stallone’s dissing of its creation on Instagram. The Escape Plan films have been a rather odd duck of a franchise, the first being notable for the Stallone/Schwarzenegger pairing but also for the admittedly rather fun concept of a prison architect being stuck in an impenetrable prison.
