Mercifully free of tongue-in-cheek meta-humor... a likably lunkheaded meat-and-potatoes brawler that never pretends to be more sophisticated than it is.
Full reviewSylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger prison escape thriller. Ray Breslin (Stallone), a prison security specialist and the designer of the world’s most secure penitentiary, finds himself incarcerated in his own complex facility after being sentenced for a crime he didn’t commit. With the help of a fellow inmate (Schwarzenegger), Ray plans to escape the fortress he built to be escape-proof while evading the ruthless warden (Jim Caviezel) and a corrupt security guard (Vinnie Jones).

Full reviewA highly enjoyable slice of in-one-eye, out-the-other nonsense. It may coast on the charisma of its leads at times, and it's hardly deep, but there's a Friday night to be had.

Full reviewFor a long stretch of the second act the film feels like doing a long stretch, but Schwarzenegger’s having a ball as Stallone goes through the motions.
