While the first ESCAPE PLAN was nothing special, it still succeeded as a mildly enjoyable B-movie action flick; sadly this sequel is nothing like. Instead it's a hastily-made, sloppily-produced effort in which Stallone feels like a guest actor in his own movie and various familiar faces are wasted in nothing roles. The main actors are nondescript Chinese stars who take part in regular and regularly disappointing martial arts fights which are randomly shoehorned into the story to make little thematic sense; even worse the choppy choreography renders all of them unappealing. Dave Bautista is particularly wasted here and the awful screenplay is all over the place, throwing in sci-fi elements and repeats from the first film to little effect.
