Lockout

Amazing sci-fi action movie with a retro feel!! The story is sweet and simple and probably predictable but that matters not as you will have so much fun with this movie, it feels really oldschool action like something the 80s would have thrown at us with Bruce Willis back in the day. Guy Pearce is a quality actor who plays a fun character in a ridiculous situation in space saving the presidents daughter from thousands of the worlds most dangerous criminals, all good fun, lots of great action and plenty of cheesy one liners, make sure you check it out.

Great film, guy peirce is excellent makes the film funny as well as full action surprise hit in my books, reminds me abit of escape from new york. worht while watch

At the moment to myself there are a lot of films, that just fall from the mark of being a good film. To myself I still see Guy Pearce in neighbours, and his american accent, particually for this film seems a bit dodgy. People have mentioned a retro feel, and a film that Bruce Willis might have done, but too me, Guy is a bit too camp to ever hold a candle to Bruce. The one liners were a bit too dry to be as funny as a die hard movie. Still this is probaly one of the best action sci fi films of 2012 is it actually worth full asking price for DVD or even worth purchasing on Blu Ray? Probaly not being the simple answer. I certainly would not pay over the odds for a blu ray release Still an enjoyable film to watch, but not a blockbuster and deffinatly not a Die Hard movie.

this film i found very good thats why i have given it 5 stars to me the film shown how life could be 5 stars all the way

Poor guy pearce. As if having to play a mr burns in prometheus wasn't enough for one year, he also had to star in lockout, the story of a framed cia agent, snow, who must earn his freedom by rescuing the president's daughter (maggie grace) from an orbit prison. Sound familiar? Yes, it is basically escape from new york in space.
It's enjoyable enough, with pearce well suited to the role of wise cracking cop, but too full of ham fisted one liners and derivative ideas to be anything more than a shallow forgery of far better sci-fi thrillers.
With two directors attached to the movie it is obviouse that there was conflicting interest when in production. The film has good ideas but none explored and probably left on the cutting room floor, the effects look cheap, the action unoriginal and the overall effect of the film was forgettable and actually surprised this got a release in the cinema as this version has direct to dvd written all over it. Maybe one day the directors cut will surface,but as this chopped version stands it's a case of watch and forget in 't' minus two hours. A great ptiy as with a good actor like guy pearce this could have been great.
