Worth a watch and support with your purchase. Security expert Ray Breslin is hired to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Hong Kong tech mogul, but his girlfriend is also captured. Overall, starts bad and gets better and ends well. Escape Plan 3 (2,407) 1 h X-Ray The final instalment of the unstoppable franchise sees legend Sylvester Stallone kick this explosive action into high gear. He cares more about his career than a Cage or Travolta or Bruce Willis at this point and doesnt want to do this for the pay cheque. It's easy to see why he's established Balboa Pictures in his twilight years and doesnt want to get caught doing these sequels and Backtrace style films for a quick payday. Ray Breslin and his team of security experts fight to rescue Breslins girlfriend and. Overall, a vast improvement on number 2, nowhere near as good as the original, but we get fights, we get blood and we get Stallone kicking but here and there. How to watch on Roku Escape Plan: The Extractors. HIghights include the career resurgence of Martial Arts Action Star Daniel Bernhardt gets a great end fight with Max Zhang and Stallone gets brutal with Devon Sawa 90s heartthrob from the Final Destination movies. First Stallone gets about 40 minutes of screen time, whilst he barely got 10 minutes in the second one, there's still great fights for Max Zhang to shine, but Stallone gets more to do here, 50 cent is in it for 2 minutes (always a bonus) and Bautista is the Terry Crews of Expendables, big guy with the big gun, gets a few minutes to shine. With a more competent direct on John Herzfeld on the third, there's a noted improvement. Whilst the second one used Stallone and Batista for a poster and credit only to suck you in, it was a vehicle for Asian market with Asian stars. It also plays that DTV trick of promising big name stars on the poster and failing to deliver - Dave Bautista appears fitfully and Stallone only a little more.When the first one made 25 million in the US, but a further $75 million in China, it makes sense that it got Chinese backing for sequels and the producers took the money and ran. This one is rooted firmly in bargain bin action licks circa 1992 and has little invention or charm to up the ante. Previous Escape Plans had a sci-fi tinge. Daya and Breslin’s partner Abby (Jaime King) are being held hostage by a goon (Devon Sawa) with a grudge against Breslin that stretches back to events in the first film (don’t worry we didn’t remember either). The reheated old guff that passes for a plot sees Breslin and his cohorts (Bautista, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, Jaime King) looking to extract Daya (Malese Jow), the daughter of a Hong Kong tech giant (Russell Wong) from a giant Latvian penitentiary ominously known as Devil’s Landing. Rather than a prison break, this time round it’s a break in. Third time round for Stallone’s 4th string franchise ( Rocky, Rambo, The Expendables are all higher up the cinematic food chain) the emphasis here is less on the problem solving of previous outings and more a dull cycle through grim punch-ups, bad acting and blatant attempts to woo the Chinese market - The Grandmaster’s Jin Zhang and Crazy Rich Asians’ Harry Shum Jr have prominent if, like everyone else, underwritten roles in the melee. “I’m done with prisons,” drawls Sylvester Stallone’s security expert Ray Breslin and watching Escape Plan 3 it’s hard to disagree. Action Crime Thriller After security expert Ray Breslin is hired to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a Hong Kong tech mogul from a formidable Latvian prison, Breslin's girlfriend is also captured.
