Lockout is a movie about space prison. The presidents daughter gets captured by the inmates of the space prison and there is only one man who can get her back. Guy Pierce! The movie is very similar to Escape From L.A. It's remiecent of a 90's action movie with a lot of snark and sass as well as action. Guy Pierce is an odd choice for a roll that has Bruce Willis written all over it but because of that he brings a freshness and intelligence to a character that has been played out. The movie is exactly what you'd imagine it would be. There's no surprises but the ride is fun and you're never tempted to look at your watch. There could have been more action and more time spent on Guy and Maggie Grace actually navigating the space prison. But you can't expect Lockout to be a perfect movie. It's about space prison.
Rent It.
