Last week, I got to interview Devon Sawa about his role in the film Escape Plan: The Extractors. We delved into the role and his experiences, his upcoming films, and I got to gush a bit about my childhood crush on him. It was a great time. Check out the interview below:
Jessica Fisher: Hi, I’m Jessica Fisher from GeekTyrant, and I just have to say that twelve year old me is beside herself right now. I’m a big fan from way back., especially Now and Then.
Devon Sawa: Thank you so much. And you know what? That’s exactly how twelve year old me felt filming this movie with Sylvester Stallone. Not that I’m anything like Stallone. What I’m trying to say is thank you.
Jf: Of course! Do you still get a lot of women approach you who were young fans of yours.

Chicago – Great action movies have one truth in common – they mix their face-offs with a psychological battle, which complements the pyrotechnics of invincible super humans. “Escape Plan,” with grizzled veterans Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, is true to that form.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
It’s enough to cheer that these two guys – who have made billions of dollars for their industry – can, at this point in their careers, get a decent story and script (by Miles Chapman and Jason Keller), and have a director (Mikael Hafström) who understands what makes each of them tick on screen. This is old school, but also fresh and modern, and contains symbolic themes of extreme rendition, identity, religion and yes, psychology. The man who once played Jesus, Jim Caviezel, now takes on the two action movie gods with a original spin on the evil warden. The film never flags, even though it features its share of impossibilities,...

Before it was Escape Plan, it was called "The Tomb" but the title could easily have been "Terminator v. Rocky." Escape Plan is the first film to feature both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone in starring roles and, though it has some issues, it also demonstrates some great moments of self-awareness, leveraging its powerhouse leads to great effect and providing a few surprising twists.
Escape Plan follows Ray Breslin (Stallone), an expert in field testing the nation’s toughest maximum security prisons to find their weaknesses. He co-owns Breslin-Clark, a security firm where Breslin truly throws himself into his work-submitting to incarceration and maintaining a cover identity while using his expertise to escape. Early on Breslin-Clark is made an offer, or rather financial backer/partner Lester Clark (Vincent D’Onofrio), can’t refuse: double their normal fee for an off-the books CIA mission to break out of
