"Escape Plan 2: Hades" is not Huang Xiaoming's English, but...

There have always been a lot of albums/movies about Prison Break , which mainly show off elaborate layouts , tight rhythms , lots of action or explosion scenes, like "Prison Break" and "Prison in the Air." Although "Escape the Shell" is not one of these two old works, it is still decent in terms of layout and rhythm control, and the spread is neat and smooth.

Coming to the sequel story to undertake the outline of the previous episode, prison escape expert Breslin (Stalone) has established a new organization and hired more security experts, one of which is Wing Chun master Shu (Huang Xiaoming). Shu suddenly disappeared one day and was imprisoned in a fully computerized prison called "Huangquan". I thought that there would be a plot of a master and disciple, but who knew that this drama was invested by a powerful country, and most of the plot was concentrated on the "sponge cake", which suddenly turned Stallone into a supporting role, which made people feel a bit overwhelming.

Although Huang Xiaoming "snatched" the role, his expression in the play was very stiff, but it was not his fault, but the whole set of scenes had serious problems with the handling of the camera, and the plot was too broken. I don't know if the director of this episode is inexperienced, or to accommodate Huang Xiaoming, who is not a martial artist, many of the fighting scenes in the play were edited too finely. It makes the audience think that they are watching "Blair Witch", and the viewing experience is extremely poor.

In addition, the plot is more irrational than the previous episode. Even if there are bugs in the last episode, it can still be said freely, but there are many unreasonable layouts in the sequel. For example, Shu and his cousin Yusheng who are in prison use their native language to discuss how to escape from prison, but they use English. , seems to be afraid that other people will not know, but Ray knows how to use Qingdao dialect as a secret code, serious and ridiculous.

In addition to the low rationality of the plot, the scenes are also pitiful, and the story keeps repeating that there must be three conditions for a successful escape: 1. Knowing the layout of the prison; 2. Mastering the daily rules; 3. Combining the inside and the outside , and inevitable With Plan B, with such a formulaic plot, the more I watch it, the more I wonder, even with the addition of a new character DeRosa (Dave Bautista), the scenes are not enough to make the plot fresh.

It's not hard to imagine how bad the plot of episode 3 will be. Even if you join someone like Zhang Jin, it will greatly reduce the popularity.
