Review of Lockout (2012)

By Michael Dequina (1,684) for TheMovieReport.com (1,582) on 21 Apr 2012

The action beats, while decently handled, actually lingers shorter in the memory than the force of Pearce's surprisingly light and lively personality…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Jolene Mendez (257) for Entertainment Spectrum (633) on 19 Apr 2012

Lockout has a very minute amount of cheesy comedy that will have you laughing at it, but maybe that is the point…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Derek Malcolm (772) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 19 Apr 2012

It's laughably over the top but Pearce, a decent actor, anchors it somewhere between Escape From New York and The Transformers…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for SSG Syndicate (1,551) on 19 Apr 2012

Furiously forbidding, filled with a great deal of sinister action that makes little sense…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Emma Dibdin (195) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 19 Apr 2012

Shallow, silly yet infectiously good-natured, this is as guiltily pleasurable as dystopia gets…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Allan Hunter (1,486) for Daily Express (UK) (2,141) on 19 Apr 2012

Even with the bonus of Pearce's sardonic performance Lockout is still little more than a soulless, slapdash computer game…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Kimberley Jones (866) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 19 Apr 2012

The space prison set-pieces get the job done; only in the film's terrestrial bookends does this nuts-and-bolts action film show its rust…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Donald Clarke (1,051) for Irish Times (1,391) on 19 Apr 2012

It rattles along at an appropriately frantic pace. It's just a shame that so much cheese has been allowed into the recipe…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Jason Best (961) for Movie Talk (957) on 19 Apr 2012

Whether you call it rip-off or homage, Lockout's guilty-pleasure mix of explosive action and tongue-in-cheek humour is mightily enjoyable…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Henry Barnes (139) for Guardian (4,584) on 18 Apr 2012

Pearce has fun; world-weary in the style of a 15-year-old told one too many times to tidy his room – but shoddy special effects and the surface-level…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Ben Rawson-Jones (229) for Digital Spy (1,161) on 18 Apr 2012

With the exception of Guy Pearce's old school anti-hero Snow, Lockout is a pointless exercise that's bereft of originality in both its plotting…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Terry Staunton (141) for Radio Times (2,421) on 18 Apr 2012

First-time directors James Mather and Stephen St Leger…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Antonia Quirke (220) for Financial Times (1,822) on 18 Apr 2012

[It] isn't a good movie but has a speedy slapstick nastiness and thankfully no eye-wateringly unsexy sex (although rape is continually and…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Tim Robey (1,578) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 18 Apr 2012

Nothing in this Luc Besson-produced multiplex-filler is at all novel or particularly well-orchestrated, so it's down to an enjoyably sarcastic…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Michael C. Walsh (9) for Boston Phoenix (1,372) on 18 Apr 2012

It's Pearce's film, and he chews and spits the one-liners like a hardened wise-ass. Han Solo would be proud…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Paul Chambers (522) for CNNRadio (136) on 18 Apr 2012

Yes, it's a guilty pleasure. And, I really don't think there's anything original about Lockout…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Ken Mcintyre (132) for Total Film (3,532) on 18 Apr 2012

Luc Besson's clunky, space-bound actioner apes '80s B-flick excess but skimps on all the good parts…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Helen O'hara (407) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 18 Apr 2012

It's just not quite as much fun as it should be, despite Pearce's best efforts and some good chemistry with Grace…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Jackie K. Cooper (1,018) for jackiekcooper.com (943) on 17 Apr 2012

Guy Pierce doing his turn as Bruce Willis in Die Hard gives the movie a boost…

Review of Lockout (2012)

By Tim Evans (725) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 17 Apr 2012

A ludicrously enjoyable sci-fi thriller salted with some sharp lines caustically delivered by Pearce as a sort of thinking man's Jason Statham…
