Escape from L.A.
Things turn into a strange and completely different turn when Snake Plissken was called back by the US government to restore the potential Doomsday device from Los Angeles. It seems a completely different adventure on the land of that island, where it's an autonomous island where unwanted deportees are deported, which may seem quite different.

Escape from L.A. finds Carpenter in a playful mood.

Diverting for the 100 minutes it runs, but once they're up, it is instantly forgettable.

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.

Violent, semi-spoofy action sequel is too dark for kids.

In a summer filled with giant duds like Independence Day or The Rock or Chain Reaction, this is the best testosterone action flick of the season.

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.

...for all its commotion, the movie never catches fire.

Enjoyable in a playful way

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.

This is the kind of movie Independence Day could have been if it hadn't played it safe.
June 18, 2002
Dark, percussive and perversely fun.

The special effects vary from OK to lame to very lame.
