I actually enjoyed this movie. I am not a 100 percent sure, why this film is so heavily downrated. The prison is innovative, interesting and features many interesting mysterious ideas, that we as a viewer get to see along the film goes on.
The story is about a prison escpae specialist, Breslin (Sylvester Stallone), who gets captured in a high-tech prison, which he tries to break out with his inmate (Arnold Schwarzenegger).
While also being a rough action movie, the film offers many mysteries and enough thrills for a prison escape film to be interesting enough. Also I thought the plot is kind of smart, because prison escape movies always need time to be written. While you could scribble a bad storyline the writers created a new path, although the second installment of this film completely messed up my hopes for this franchise.
I wouldn't say that "Escape Plan" is the best prison escape film there is, but I would say that it belongs to the better ones, along with "The Shawshank Redemption", although that one is way more deep and thought than "Escape Plan".
