Escape Plan: The Extractors (2019) Sylvester Stallone, Devon Sawa, Jin Zhang
If it had been titled something else would would be a decent action movie. Not great, or even all that good, but decent. The fight scenes were well-choreographed, if a bit formulaic, with action that was easy to follow. But as a movie that tries to capitalize off of Escape Plan (2013) it fails miserably. The original movie, which I saw once years ago, involved Stallone using his wits and intelligence to overcome a seemingly insurmountable problem: to escape from an inescapable prison. This movie involved no intelligence, no wits; the wrestler wrestled, the boxer boxed, and the martial artist martially arted. Over-all, one big meh.
