Movie Review 'Escape Plan'

The running time is 1 hour 56 minutes.The cast includes Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Caviezel, Vincent D'Onofrio, Vinnie Jones, Amy Ryan, 50 Cent and Matt Gerald. Stallone plays Ray Breslin, a man with a certain set of skills, those being the ability to break out of any prison placed in front of him, a talent that has just awarded him and his team a $5 million contract. Breslin, as it turns out, actually wrote the book -- as in the actual, physical book -- on how to design a maximum security prison, but it seems all his knowledge is about to be used against him as his next assignment gets underway. Almost immediately Breslin's tracking chip is destroyed and his partners (50 Cent as a "techno thug" and Amy Ryan, because she probably had nothing better to do) have lost him. Breslin is on his own and a few flashes later, he's locked away in a plexiglass cage at a privately owned, maximum security prison. The key to this place, however, is that it was designed by a man (James Caviezel) who keeps Breslin's book handy at all times. That's right, Breslin has become his own worst enemy! Imprisoned under the name Portos, an assumed terrorist, Breslin eventually meets fellow inmate Emil Rottmayer (Schwarzenegger) and it isn't long before he realizes not only is this prison damn near impossible to break out of, it seems he may not be supposed to... or is he?
