Review of Lockout (2012) by Mikeboat — 12 Apr 2012

The biggest problem with this movie is that it's just simply generic. It's basically Die Hard set in space. Nothing new. The film does have its cool moments which can take the focus away from the flaws, and there is a sense that serious effort was put into making it, but in the end, Lockout is just another generic action flick.

If you just want an entertaining action movie and you couldn't care less if it has been done before, I'd recommend this movie, as it DOES have moments that are very cool and entertaining. However, if you're looking for something fresh, new, and original, look somewhere else.
