Review of Lockout (2012) by Trenchfoot — 31 Mar 2016

Guy Pearce is one of the very few actors of his generation that can carry a film, however, clichéd, cheesy, predictable, corny and unoriginal they are. And this one is and again he does. But the script is peppered with dry one liners and there's decent chemistry and engaging banter between Pearce and Grace.

I also thought the two Scottish brothers added a bit of fun especially the unhinged younger one. A bit OTT but quite disturbing too. Bottom line is it's clear the makers are not taking this that seriously which is a major plus when so many action, sci fi and superhero films are so deadly humourless.
