Not again!”Įverybody on the train, we learn, is a traumatized previous escape-room participant. “Did you say Minos?” a different passenger responds. In the first of many highly predictable moves, the car just so happens to be yet another escape room. The duo travels to New York, where they believe Minos is secretly headquartered, and end up on a subway train at Canal Street. Ben (Logan Miller) attempts to get out of an electrified New York subway train in “Escape Room: Tournament of Champions.” ©Sony Pictures/Courtesy Everett ![]() But Zoey won’t rest until she takes them down. Nobody believes their story about the evil Minos company, which puts unwitting humans in elaborate life-threatening scenarios for the entertainment of the rich. Zoey (Taylor Russell) and Ben (Logan Miller), the only survivors of the deadly Escape Room, are back and hell-bent on revenge. That 2019 movie was not a tough act to follow, and still somehow the sequel, “Tournament of Champions,” falls even further into the depths of drudgery. It was corporate Soylent Green that existed solely to cash in on a millennial trend. The first film was not particularly scary, campy, creative, suspenseful, shocking, satiric or gory. That’s because it’s the rare horror franchise that satisfies zero criteria of what we want from a freaky movie. Get out of that theater and go see “ Black Widow” instead. The best thing about the “Escape Room” film series is that it gives audience members clear directions in the title about what they should immediately do: Escape. Rated PG-13 (violence, terror and strong language).
