And I liked the second part of “Escape Plan” even more than the first. And I can’t explain why. The series cannot repeat the success of “The Expendables”; you cannot step into the same river twice, but for me it’s quite a high-quality movie. It's a shame for Snipes. Another example of how you can flush your acting talent down the toilet.
