I've found myself loving both parts 1 and 3 in this series, and was thinking I'd found a piece of gold when I saw MuchMusic was airing this -seemingly unedited- this weekend. But I didn't end up caring for this episode in the series as much.
There were moments when it felt like it had less of a plot, even though it actually seemed to have more of one then the first film. A few scenes had me wondering what they were really smoking in the writing room?
I don't know, part 2 in the film series just left me feeling cheated. I've heard there is suppose to be a part four, then heard it was cancelled, then heard it was back on. If there is a part four, I hope it's better thought out then Escape was.
