Breslin did not design the prison himself. Hobbes designed the prison based on the book of Breslin's research. If he designed it himself he would not need to decipher its flaws, as he would know them. Neither would he design a prison which could be escaped from! Also it is not likely he would publish his research on how to escape from prisons! Anybody could then get his book and make use of its solutions.

Overall I enjoyed this movie. I put off watching it after it bombed in the theaters. The other night I was wanting an action movie so revisited thee IMDb site and saw some stellar (10 out of 10) reviews and sad let's give this a shot. Stallone actually acting is one of his better roles in this one. Not on par with Cop Land or Rocky but up there. He balances the tough guy with intelligence with an even easy flow that's believable. Arnold on the other hand, who has never really been known as a great actor even though I think he did his best real acting in Maggie, seems to just walk through his lines and rest on the fact that he's n action movie icon so why put in the effort. Jim Caviezel playing out of character playing a Bond type villain with a bit of corniness, and I say that as a compliment, as he did so very well. THe premise of the movie is great. The attempt at being a smart action movie almost works. Thee were times it just decided to become a cliché of your typical brainless action movie. I like some of those. Stallone's Expendables being one. If this would have stayed on the path of that intelligent action movie this could've been a box office hit and a memorable film. Most people I have mentioned this movie to never even head of it or forgot it totally and they are fans of the genre, Stallones, and/or Arnold's. Sadly, This is an easily forgettable movie. Watch it for the entertainment and quality but don't expect much.

Last year, it was The Last Stand and T: Genisys and this year I planned to watch Escape Plan.To me, it seemed like PB series whipped with Lock Up (Stallone facing bright lights) and Face/Off (Remember, Nicolas Cage jumping from the ship?)The two oldies did a fine job - Escape Plan would have been one of the biggest movies of the year if it had been released in the 90's, but unfortunately it is too late. The 90's nostalgia card has already been played in the Expendables movies.An honorable mention of Jim Caviezel - saw him in Escape Plan..forgot that he was the same actor in Monte Cristo! 🕵
