Review of Lockout (2012) by Marcdoyle — 25 Apr 2012
It's close to the definition of an average film. Pearce is terrific in his highly original and refreshing role - for him - but the "bad guys" weren't nearly interesting or threatening enough to make it work.
It could have been more like a Die Hard film with better-drawn characters. And was one of the early car chases supposed to look like a videogame cut-scene? Did they just not have the budget to film that one? Very interesting.
It's great seeing Maggie Grace again, but she doesn't bring enough to rescue the film into the green (recommended) territory.
