Enjoyed this film, loved it so much that I watched it on a very bad WiFi at the time...so even with the freezing and bad picture, I was still gripped and carried on watching it to see how it would end. Love how the cast compliment each other's acting and loved Schwarzenegger's character. Vinnie Jones basically plays the same character he plays in all the films he is in. And Stallone was great at playing the part of clever prison break genius. Overall , well worth a watch.

Sly and Arnie. Together at last! It's actually a fairly decent action flick. Tarnished for me however by some right-wing evangelical-Christian anti-Muslim propaganda that finds its way into the plot. Not that fact that there are Muslims 'terrorists' in the prison. No. One of them helps the others escape. The problem is when he needs an excuse to go up onto the deck of the ship as part of this 'escape plan'. He tells them he wants to go up on deck 'to SEE his god' when he prays to him. They even show a shot of the moon when he's on deck. This stems from a propaganda some right-wing evangelical-Christians spread that Muslims worship the moon (probably to make Islam seem even more foreign to them rather than being a true Abrahamic faith). That Allah is a moon-god. Which is false as Muslims worship the creator of everything including the moon. Now spreading this propaganda in a big movie like this, kinda spoils the whole thing.

While Sly and Arnie play similar roles as you're used to, the plot is novel and the support acting is close enough to good to make this flick entirely watchable. Once you get past Vinnie Jones' skeletal modern physique, this movie ticks all the boxes of a modern action thriller. I honestly was rapt when I saw glimmers of true acting from Arnie.
