Comparing it with the first exploits of Snake Plissken, this Carpenter own's self parody of the previous box office hit is normally dismissed as a bad movie, a remake of the first one without any redeeming qualities. In fact, the movie is very good as a long ride in fun, full of splendid little in-jokes, cameo roles to fill your list for months to come, sapid sentences. Prepare for the ride and enjoy this movie from start to finish, following the continuing saga of one of the greatest movie heroes of all time (a Kurt Russell still fit for the role after so long a time: compliments, Kurt!).
