Silly fun

Rating: 7/10 (5 December 2017)

I'm not a fan of big budget goofiness, but this pokes enough fun at itself to be enjoyable.
No one really takes their goofy roles seriously in this convicts take over everything movie, and that's good.
It's just shoot 'em up action, and funny lines.
I could do without all the ignorant special effects and the fires and the explosions, but at least here the production team uses it all for laughs. It can't be taken seriously.
It's best to call this a comedy, although a dark one.
Nothing irritating in this movie, and the many subplots and supporting characters really helps this movie. Generally, it isn't good for movies to simply showcase actors (Superman III comes immediately to mind), but as in Superman III, it is for laughs. Though here it works better.
