Rarely does a sequel manage to so thoroughly destroy the little good its predecessor left behind. Escape Plan 2: Hades tries to look deeper and smarter than it really is, and the result is a senseless mess, lacking logic or any real interest. The film is nonsense from the very beginning, with dialogues that aim for philosophical but end up sounding ridiculous, action scenes that are confusing, and a story that feels made up on the spot. Stallone, lost in a directionless script, barely has any moments to shine, and the rest of the cast doesn't manage to lift it either. The worst part is the constant feeling that everything is just an excuse to fill time without any real effort or care. It doesn't entertain, it doesn't excite, and it doesn't even manage to be laughably bad – it just bores and disappoints. If someone recommends it to you, you might want to rethink that friendship. A total disaster that only serves as a warning of how not to make a sequel.
