The film shifts its focus to a new group of characters and their struggles within the titular Hades, a high-tech prison that feels less compelling than the previous setting. While there are moments of action, the narrative lacks the intricate plotting and tension that made the first Escape Plan so engaging. Instead of the clever heists and psychological maneuvers that defined the original, this sequel relies more on generic action tropes that fail to hold the audience's attention.
The absence of Stallone as a central figure detracts from the overall experience, and the character dynamics feel underdeveloped as a result. The film does not capitalize on the chemistry and camaraderie that made the first film memorable, leading to a disjointed viewing experience.
In summary, Escape Plan 2: Hades is a disappointing sequel that lacks the heart and intrigue of its predecessor. For fans of the original, it may be hard to overlook these shortcomings, making it a less-than-satisfying addition to the franchise.
This thrilling flick packs intrigue , nail-biting violence and lots of fights . The movie takes place into four walks of a high technology jail with plenty of computers and glimmer lights . Of course , expired Stallone is also locked and equally determinated to get his freedom, using his special skills to break out , as he goes on to push the boundaries of what is human possible , dealing with his preparatives and fights to escape by confronting nasty enemies . Sylvester Stallone plays in his ordinary , but already out-of-date , style as the obstinate hero to get the wished escape .The final confrontation between Stallone supported by his underlings and the baddies is stimulating and violent , including some surprises . In the film shows up some actors from previous installment as 5o Cent Jackson , and Stallone himself , adding others as Xiamong Huang , Dave Bautista, Wes Chatham , Titus Welliver and Jaime King who replaced Amy Ryan as Abigail .The motion picture was badly directed by Steven C Miller and was filmed in 20 days only , and several countries was exhibited direct to video . Steve C Miller is an expert on action and terror movies , usually played by famous actors , but with no much success , such as : Line of duty , First kill, Arsenal, Marauders , Submerged , Extraction , Under the bed , The agression Scale, Scream of the Banshee , Automaton transfusion , among others. Rating 3.5/10. Only for Sylvester Stallone's hardcore fans .
This Escape plan trilogy is formed by the first , original and the best : ¨Escape plan¨ 2013 by Mikael Hafstrom with James Cazievel , Arnold Schwarzenegger, 50 cent Jackson , Amy Ryan , Vinnie Jones ; in which Stallone finds himself set up and incarcerated in the world's most secret and secure prison, ¨The Tomb¨ -a highly fortified prison based on his own design- and he must use his skills to escape with help from the inside . Following a third outing titled ¨The extractors¨ 2019 by John Herzfeld with 50 Cent , Jaime King , Sea Bruckner , Russell Wong , Daniel Bernhardt, this latter concerns a rescue of the abducted daughter of a Hong Kong mogul from a formidable Latvian prison,, then Breslin's girlfriend is also kidnapped.
Wow, talk about a ridiculous storyline if there ever was one! This is the sort of sequel that should never have seen the light of day and it is unfathomable of how something as abysmal such as this came into existence.
Poorly written storyline and script, and the acting performances in the movie, despite there being some well enough action stars here, was just questionable. It was as if the actors themselves didn't even buy into the storyline. This was definitely not one of the brightest moments in Sylvester Stallone's acting career.
There is a lot of action and fighting in the movie which is the one and only thing the movie has working for it.
If you are going to watch an "Escape Plan" movie, stick with the first one and give the sequel a wide berth...
Do yourself a favor and spend the 30 minutes I wasted doing something else.

- GoofsPart of the plot revolves forcing someone to reveal a patent as if it was a secret. Patents are not secret, the point being to make something public to secure protection for commercial use. If something was supposed to be kept secret, then it would be called a secret.
