Let’s get this right out front. The first “Taken” was an awesome tough guy movie. It even made the cover of the first Tough Guy Wisdom book. The second was a decent follow up that was still enjoyable. The third is my least favorite of the three. I suspect it will get the worst reviews and make the least amount of money ...

Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger deliver just what you expect in “Escape Plan.” As a fan of both of their and Tough Guy movies, I found it a fun two hours of tough guy escapism. (Pun intended) It’s a prison break movie that proves these two still have it, even ...
