Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 47%

Critic Consensus: “As much fun as it is to see Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger team up onscreen, Escape Plan fails to offer much more than a pale imitation of 1980s popcorn thrills”

RT Freshness: 45%

Critic Consensus: “It boasts a talented cast, but Kimberly Peirce’s “reimagining” of Brian De Palma’s horror classic finds little new in the Stephen King novel — and feels woefully unnecessary”

The Fifth Estate

Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Daniel Bruhl, Dan Stevens, Alicia Vikander, Laura Linney, David Thewlis, Anthony Mackie

Directed by: Bill Condon, RJ Cutler

Plot: A dramatic retelling of how Julian Assange uncovered sensitive government secrets and posted them on the internet on WikiLeaks.

RT Freshness: 36%

Critic Consensus: “Heavy on detail and melodrama but missing the spark from its remarkable real-life inspiration, The Fifth Estate mostly serves as a middling showcase for Benedict Cumberbatch’s remarkable talent”
