- [New – 1/30/14] | Dragan Antulov @ Draxblog VI [Croatian]
- Marina Antunes @ Quiet Earth
- José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
- Excerpt: El bombardeo de producciones que recuperan a los titanes de la testosterona de décadas pasadas prosigue con un castañazo con poco que destacar más allá del cariño que le podamos tener a los dos mamotretos protagonistas.
- Edwin Arnaudin @ Ashvegas
- Excerpt: The film’s highlight is Schwarzenegger’s sketch of a butt with an arrow pointed you-know-where. For audiences who choose to see this mess, the arrow is unfortunately turned in the opposite direction and aimed right at them.
- Patrick Bromley @ F This Movie!
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: Having grown up with the action movies of Stallone and Schwarzenegger, “Escape Plan” was a real treat. It was nice to see the guys back in action, and it reminds me of what popcorn movies were made of.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: This paean to 80’s action movies…may not always make the most of sense but it’s pairing of Stallone with a joyful, even twinkly Arnold Schwarzenegger is a real kick for those who remember those films and their stars fondly.
- Tony Dayoub @ Cinema Viewfinder
- Excerpt: …an unashamedly exciting and surprisingly smart thriller.
- Billy Donnelly @ This Is Infamous
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: The film has a clever premise and, until a predictably generic climax, follows through on it with a neat if faulty logic.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Creaking and chugging with testosterone-laden, tough-guy violence, they’re lumbering lunkheads.
- Vadym Grygoriev @ kinoblog.com [Ukrainian]
- Travis Hopson @ Punch Drunk Critics
- Excerpt: If this were twenty years ago, Escape Plan would be pretty awesome. Oh wait, no it wouldn’t.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Nothing here is as clever as it is desperately trying to be, but Stallone and Schwarzenegger are game to give us a good time.
- Glenn Lovell @ CinemaDope.com
- Excerpt: Stallone continues on the comeback trail … a brawny action thriller with lively supporting turns by Schwarzenegger and Caviezel.
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: The star pairing does pack a punch: Escape Plan might not have much else to recommend it, there’s an undeniable appeal to seeing Sly and Arnold together onscreen.
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: Apart from the curious political subtext, it’s mostly a standard-issue innocent-man-breaking-out-of-jail movie, enlivened primarily by Schwarzenegger’s sense of abandon.
- Phil Villarreal @ COED.com
- Excerpt: A relic of the 80s, an action flick era well into its fourth decade.
