Escape Plan. Not the worse movie, not the best movie. Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) is a security specialist. His specialty is to escape from prisons around the country. For some reason, someone has it out for him. His next job is actually a setup and he ends up in top secret prison. While in prison, he is befriended by Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger). Together, they attempt to escape from this prison. A complication is that they appear to be deep underground and are never allowed to see the sun. So if they do escape they have no idea if they're in the middle of the desert or Greenland or the ocean.
So this is a top secret prison that seems to imprison at least some individuals based on bribes paid to the prison. That just seems outrageous. And then, wouldn't one think that Ray Breslin, a top security specialist, would have at least some clue regarding this prison. Sure it is a secret prison, but someone in that field must have heard rumors. In order to escape from the prison, Ray and Rottmayer need to know where they are. They convince another prisoner to join their plot. This prisoner somehow convinces the jailer to allow him to spend time outside. Now why would a jailer who runs a secret prison that attempts to hide its location from everyone -- especially the prisoners -- make such an error in judgement?
This honestly just feels like a b-movie version of a potential summer blockbuster (not that I think this idea works as a summer blockbuster movie).
