A movie which can stand as an example for all the aspiring movie makers in terms of its screenplay. I got really fascinated about how the screenplay is woven around a very thin thread ( the story I mean ). A perfect movie to say that screenplay is the most important part of a movie.
STORY: a very simple story line where a escape artist is framed and thrown into a state of the heart high security prison where escape is only by the means of death. The rest of the story is about how he plans the escape by making another inmate as his friend.
Though the story is simple it has ample number of one line humor and twists and turns along with few action sequences that can make the audience ti stay on their seats.
PERFORMANCES: though Stallone is the main protagonist in this movie, Arnold gets all the cheers and claps due to his comedy , timely expressions and finally his action sequences. I would say both the characters are played well in their own aspects. There are several other small characters in this movie which there is no need to mention. As a final word the villain is portrayed and played well.
TECHNICAL DEPARTMENTS: all the credits to the screenplay as I mentioned earlier. The direction is also good and art director gets an applause for the prison design and there is nothing much to speak about the other departments in this movie.
ANALYSIS: the screenplay, direction and performances get good marks in this movie but the plot and the movie can be monotonous for those audience who go to the theatre for watching some serious action by the deadly duo sly & arnie. Have a little idea about what the movie is about and u will surely enjoy it.
