Movie Review: Escape Plan PosterEscape Plan
Director: Mikael Håfström
Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jim Caviezel, Sam Neill, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Amy Ryan, Vinnie Jones, Faran Tahir
Lionsgate Entertainment
Rated R | 115 Minutes
Release Date: October 18, 2013

Directed by Mikael Håfström (The Rite), Escape Plan stars Sylvester Stallone as Ray Breslin, co-owner of Breslin-Clark, a security firm that specializes in testing the reliability of maximum security prisons.

Breslin spends his life breaking in and out of prisons. He studies their designs and the guards’ habits to find and exploit weaknesses in the system.

After his most recent breakout, Breslin and his business partner Lester Clark (Vincent D’Onofrio) are approached by CIA agent Jessica Miller (Caitriona Balfe) to infiltrate a top-secret prison to determine if it’s escape-proof.

Under the guise of a terrorist named “Portos,” Breslin is locked up in the Tomb – a futuristic prison with glass cells and creepy guards straight out of THX-1138. It doesn’t take long for Breslin to realize he’s been double-crossed. Someone wants the former escape artist to disappear for good, buried in the Tomb with the rest of the world’s most dangerous men.

After a few days of casing the joint, Breslin meets inmate Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and together they hatch a scheme to escape the hush-hush techno-prison and the machiavellian Warden Hobbs (Jim Caviezel).

PS4 Controller Image

There have been numerous things that have upset gamers here in the States regarding Microsoft’s Xbox One, leading many to at least say that they will be instead purchasing Sony’s PlayStation 4, one of which is the price. Upon their launch next month, the Xbox One will cost $499, while the PS4 will cost $399. Sony is familiar with how crucial prices are; their $600 launch price at the launch of the PS3 put them in a bad position from the start of current generation of consoles, and they ultimately never recovered against the booming Xbox 360.

But this is not the story in other countries. Elsewhere, unbelievably high fees and taxes are tacked on to the price making new consoles a difficult acquisition. In Brazil, for example, import fees and taxes mean that the PlayStation 4 will cost 3,999 Brazilian real, which equals out to around $1,857 in U.S. dollars.
