Escape from L.A.
It is the adventure we are experiencing through Snake Plissken, which was once again called by the US government. The task seems to be strong this time as the government tries to restore the potential Doomsday device from Los Angeles. Now, things seem to be different on an island where self-sufficiency is being deported..

Diverting for the 100 minutes it runs, but once they're up, it is instantly forgettable.January 01, 2000
This is the kind of movie Independence Day could have been if it hadn't played it safe.April 12, 2002
Escape from L.A. is too preposterous to be a good film. But in keeping with its title, it does provide a couple of hours of entertaining escapism.January 23, 2006
A dreadful belated sequel to the entertaining Escape From New York. Perfectly epitomizes how Carpenter's skills have eroded since his late '70s, early '80s heyday.July 30, 2007

Buscemi, Fonda, Robertson, Grier and many others get to make vivid impressions, but of course it's Russell who must carry this swiftly paced picture. As rugged as ever and attractively weathered, he does so with ease.October 24, 2002
