John carptenter's Escape from L.A. has a parallel story to that of his earlier film "Escape from new york". Kurt Russell is back as the Badass he was in New york just this time theres new co-stars and a diferent city. This time steve Buscemi is Ernest Borgnine's shoes this time around instead of being the cab driver he's Hollywood ED the guy who knows the street. The same could be said about Peter... read more

Snake Plissken is one of the most badass characters ever created and it is not a surprise that, after all these years, the finally decided to make a sequel to his first adventure. It is probably the most charismatic character in Kurt Russel's career and, once again, he delivered a solid performance. The main issue is that, unfortunately, the plot is way too similar to the first installment. I mean... read more

Description: The year is 2013. Like New York, Los Angeles has been turned into a prison island for the United State's most undesirable criminals, like New York, Los Angeles is surrounded by a wall so no convict can escape from L.A and once deported to L.A. you can never return to the American mainland which has become a moral society. 16-years aft ...

"30.3. Jatko-osa on välillä kuin Verhoevenia katsoisi. Pako L.A.:sta on keskisormi pystyssä tehtyä yhteiskuntakritiikkiä, joka menee kovuudessaan ja CGI:n rumuudessaan jonnekin surrealistisen taiteen ja repeilymaratonin välimaastoon. Mikään ei edelleenkään kiinnosta elokuvan hahmoja, ja muutokset tehdään lopulta vain oman välinpitämättömyyden vuoksi. American Spirit -tupakat huuleen ja kaaos päälle. Vapaus kuoli kauan sitten näiden elokuvien maailmassa."

"First Viewing Rented Library DVD I had heard some horrible things about this film and holy shit they were true. Almost everything about this film does not work at all. It's almost as if he was trying to remake the original by fucking up everything that made that film wonderful. One could say it was nice to see Snake in a film again I just wish it wasn't a film that punches him so damn hard in the nuts. Even the cameo's don't help one bit. Anyone who thinks this is better or on par with the f"
