Call me Snake. It’s been a number of years since we last saw one-eyed Snake Plissken, the surly man with a past and a habit of getting himself thrown into sealed city super-prisons. 1996 was that year, as John Carpenter directed the sequel Escape from LA, that ended with Snake pulling the ol’ “EMP blast the entire planet with this …
