When I was growing up I always liked the action movies.
Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger were two of my favorite heroes.
From Rocky series to Rambo, I watched all of the Stallone hits and
Schwarzenegger’s Terminator Series is one of my favorite series of all times.
So, when I heard that these two stars were going to share screen spaces I just
had to leave the Mark Brewer Mansion
with my friends Mr. Phoenix and Mr. Oak to watch the movie. Luckily on my
way I met Mr. Jones too, who is one of my closest Forex trading friends.
This is a movie for the fans. The storyline for the movie
is rather thin. It seems to be a sort of tutorial for the prisoners on how to
break prisons. The film begins with a prisoner (Stallone) escaping from the
full proof protected prison of Bendwater Penitentiary Institute. Later, the
prisoner returns back to the authorities and reveals that he is Ray Breslin, a
security consultant who is an expert in exposing the vulnerabilities of state
prisons. He is a recruited authority. He shows the loopholes in the prison and
tells the warden how he managed to escape.
Soon after, Ray Breslin (Stallone) is approached by the
CIA to carry out his usual checks at a new facility which would imprison
dangerous criminals. CIA does not disclose the location or any other
information about this classified cell. Though Breslin is not willing to take
up the mission, but his manager is lured by the high sum promised. He persuades
Breslin to perform the check, mentioning him as an artist adept at prison
break. Breslin is taken to this undisclosed prison and gets about his job. He
tries to find an escape route. But to his dismay there are none. The warden of
the prison is cruel and cunning Mr. Hobbes (Jim Caviezel). After finding no
loopholes, Breslin tells Hobbes about his true identity, but the later does not
believe. Breslin is stuck at the prison. In the meanwhile he meets another
fellow inmate featuring Arnold Schwarzeneggar. They start making an improbable
escape plan.
Though there are many thrilling moments in the movie and
witty dialogues, but nothing seems to arouse the sort of passion I (Mark Brewer) had expected. The brawls
and fist fights seem to be too obvious. At times it seems the screenwriter
deviated from his primary storyline.
It is a movie worth watching for the fans of these two
great action stars. Both the stars perform admirably. Jim Caviezel brings out a
great performance in a negative character.
