Review of Lockout (2012) by Bikerjames — 22 Apr 2012
There are some cool special effects, and overall the acting is good, but the story is stale and the believability factor crosses the line. Example - at one point Guy Pearce jumps off a high rise during a chase.
He ends up uninjured without a scratch, maybe just a little winded. He endures so much physical abuse throughout the film but is like a cartoon character, he just keeps going. The other thing about the film that is annoying is Joseph Gilgun, who plays the bad guy.
His acting is great, BUT I couldn't understand more than 5 words he said throughout the film. He has a very thick Aussie accent. He needed to clean up the accent a little for American audiences. His brother in the film is also a bad guy and has an Aussie accent but you can easily understand him.
This wasn't a bad film but it had too many implausibilities to recommend.
