Rob and I went to see this on Saturday. I wasn't in the mood to see anything heavy like 12 Years a Slave or Gravity. I figured this would be a mostly fun, fluffy movie and I was right.Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) makes his living breaking out of prisons. He literally wrote the book on security. So when a woman from the CIA (Caitriona Balfe) hires him to break out of a blackbag prison, he doesn't think anything of it. His business partner (Vincent D'Onofrio) loves the idea since it's worth $5 million, but his other two team members (Amy Ryan and 50 Cent, yes, really) are not convinced. Something doesn't smell right to them. Sure enough, Ray is abducted and thrown into lockup. He meets the warden (Jim Caviezel) but it's not the warden he was briefed to expect. This one has no intention of letting Ray go. Ray has no choice but to break out of the most secure prison ever designed. Fortunately, he immediately makes a friend inside: Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), henchman to a financial terrorist named Muller.
Like I said, it's a fun movie. It's not Lockout levels of fun but it's entertaining.
