"Escape Plan" with Stallone and Schwarzenegger.

I bring it up here because the main character reminded me a lot of MacGyver: really observant and creative, and therefore, able to plan and execute escapes from even the best guarded prisons, using nothing but his brain and whatever's around him.

The entire thing is actually very much unlike what either Stallone or Schwarzenegger usually do, come to think of it, because it doesn't call on the two main characters to be big strong action heroes. If you'd just let me read the script without telling me anything about the actors, I'd have been like "okay, so the two lead characters are basically MacGyver, and Nate Ford from "Leverage.""

It came out a while ago but I really enjoyed Ambulance. It was Michael Bays' return to his action genre after departing from the Transformers franchise and it really pays off.

It was a day one purchase for me as I bought the 4K and highly recommend it for a watch if you wish to watch a film with tons of action and a lot of heart.

My next eager watch is to hopefully stream the new Halloween Ends today but have not yet seen it to draft any review just yet.
