Sorry man, no disrespect to Stallone, or the first Escape Plan. The original was a pretty good movie, original, great protagonists, and it kept you on your toes with everything being the opposite of what you expect. Stallone and Schwarzenegger have an excellent, believable chemistry, and it's just a smart, overall enjoyable film.

If you agreed with, or plan on watching the sequel based on the successful attributes of the first one...

Don't waste your time with it, stick to the first, or if you want to watch a good, honorable sequel, try fuckin' "John Wick: Chapter 2", you won't be disappointed.
