Escape Plan (2013)
Stallone and Schwarzenegger in a Surprisingly Entertaining Flick
Stallone and Schwarzenegger together in an action film is the ultimate in clichés. Expecting a painful to watch "one last go around" project for a couple of aging action stars, this action film was actually pretty entertaining. Both of the old guys played their roles expertly and seem to have embraced their recent career success as seniors that can still throw a punch. Arnie seems to have finally picked up a few acting skills and Stallone seems more punch drunk than ever but leverages that into some believable character development. All in all pleasantly surprised that Escape Plan wasn't the disaster it could have been. And both Stallone and Schwarzenegger throw in some great lines and moves that hearken back to the roles that made them famous and enshrined them in our collective consciousness.
