*NO SPOILERS*
I've always been an Arnold and Stallone fan, growing up to their movies are great. This isn't one of those mindless action films, like 'The Running Man,' or 'Cobra,' this is actually a well thought movie, nothing ingenious but still thought was put into this movie. The story is simple, Stallone breaks out of prisons across the country to test if they are escape proof, then he takes on an assignment on a very tight maximum security prison with Arnold in it, who has a very good character. There is a backbone plot which isn't very special but I guess it fits the movie's style. There is also a small twist which isn't bad, but it is predictable. There are some very good action scenes of course, I mean if you have two of the major movie bada**es in the same movie then you must have some action scenes. Comedy is here and there in the movie too, pretty funny also. There is also Vinnie Jones in the movie, who was good but could use a little more screen time. The movie progresses well, you won't get bored of it, it gets more interesting as the movie goes on, if the movie feels boring later then don't worry a funny scene will wake you up. You might even learn a thing or two in this picture, I did to be honest. Its a great movie, I hope there are more Arnold and Stallone movies like this. This shows that 80s action heroes are not "dead" but still awesome, tough, and nostalgic. Enjoy the movie folks.
