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 after he escaped from New York, One-Eyed former soldier Snake Plissken now the United State's most wanted outlaw is once again given another job for his freedom by the new President and L.A's security commander Malloy. Snake is sent into L.A. to recover a doomsday device that shuts all power sources on Earth from brutal terrorist Curevo Jones and the President's runaway daughter Utopia who has been brainwashed by Curveo into stealing the doomsday device, and the President personally wants Snake to eliminate Utopia for betraying her country. Like New York, Snake is injected with a engineered virus which will kill him in 9 hours if Snake fails the mission, if Snake succeeds in completing the mission, he will be given the antidote. Entering L.A, now inhabited by criminals, runaway teenagers, prostitutes and brutal gangs. Snake sets out to recover the doomsday device and kill Utopia, as Curevo and his army of terrorists prepares to invade the United States and can Snake escape from L.A. before the virus kills him in 9 hours? Snake Plissken is once again called in by the United States government to recover a potential doomsday device from Los Angeles, now an autonomous island where undesirables are deported. 'Escape from New York' is a cult classic but a sequel doesn't come any close. Kurt Russell is washed up in here, never was a fan of his acting but could always appreciate him if he did a good performance. Here - he didn't. I mean he's still Kurt but his acting here could have been a lot better. There are nice supporting parts by Steve Buscemi, Stacy Keach and Cliff Robertson but nothing to be crazy about. Whole film is rather fast paced and we do have a lot of special effects on a good level which is always nice to see in a blockbuster movie. Music score by John Carpenter is probably the best thing in entire movie - It's tense as it should be which is great. I liked the satire on politics and society and there is nothing really bad about 'Escape from LA' but It's just not near that raw, brutal and tense as the original was. I found the movie to be OK at best. Russell couldn't keep me interested enough. Maybe one day I will give it a chance again but for now, I don't feel like I need to own it in my collection. My Age: 13<br/><br/>In an earthquake, Los Angeles is separated from mainland USA. If you don't abide by the laws, you are sent there and cannot return. Utopia, the president's daughter, played by A.J. Langer, steals a device from a weapons establishment, and flees with another terrorist whose name I did not catch, to LA. Snake Plissken, played by Kurt Russell, is forced to retrieve the device for the government. He is poisoned with a virus that will kill him in a number of hours to ensure his co-operation.<br/><br/>I have never seen the original Escape From New York, and this film repels me from doing so. It is so stupid and dumb. It lacks credibility and has so much unnecessary violence. The acting is horrible and the premise is also quite average. I must admit, there are a few good scenes, I liked the ending, besides one aspect that I'm probably not allowed to mention. I also like the character of Snake Plissken, but he deserved a better film, which he probably had with Escape From New York.<br/><br/>Australian Classification: M 15+: Medium Level Violence, Medium Level Coarse Language<br/><br/>Rating: 34 out of 100 (for a few good scenes) Good, dirty, escapist fun. Director John Carpenter commented just before the release of Escape From L.A. (1996) that IF this movie was successful then he would consider a third movie and that the only place left for Snake to escape from would be Earth. "Escape From Earth" was just an idea - Carpenter never even gave that title, it's just something people assumed it would be called.<br/><br/>Escape From L.A. evidentley was not a commercial success and so the idea of a third movie went no further than Carpenter's comment. Depends on your point of view. Snake's decision is to essentially turn Earth's history back to the Victorian era, pre-electricity, where a man like him would flourish as a self-reliant gunfighter and despeardo. On the other hand it's suggested that humankind has deteriorated into tyranny so he essentially tears a corrupt society down and replaces it with a more egalitarian society 'Cabin in the Woods' style instead. a5c7b9f00b Episode 1.246 full movie hd downloadthe Gladiators downloadRe\Visioned: Tomb Raider Animated Series tamil dubbed movie free downloadBeat the House malayalam full movie free downloadKung Fu: The Legend Continues full movie in hindi free download mp4A Written Challenge from the Apostle in hindi movie downloadAn American Classic full movie in hindi 1080p downloadWar Zone movie free download in hindiDownload the The Net full movie tamil dubbed in torrentThe Alive Tribe full movie in hindi 1080p download
