Lockout
This story tells about a man who needs to get his freedom but maybe it was only by fulfilling a certain condition. That story began with the former government agent who was convicted for a previous charge. That man could get his freedom if he could save the president's daughter from a prison in outer space taken over by prisoners, but these prisoners are very violent people, making it more difficult.

Lockout succeeds as a result of Pearce - who delivers an enjoyable, albeit snide, performance as a government agent turned one-man-army.

It's the kind of movie where someone tumbling in space above the earth's atmosphere opens a parachute and lands gently on earth without even gasping for a breath.

Does a fine job of continually coming up with obstacle after obstacle for our two leads to dodge - not the least of which happens to be good, old-fashioned logic.

Lean, fun, smart without overthinking things and always equipped with a one-liner, Lockout is refreshingly free of the bull**** that plagues so many genre films.

The dialogue between the two leads and Guy Pearce's pleasant performance make this sci-di drama worth seeing.

It's clichéd, ridiculous, and very entertaining.

They don't make 'em like this anymore, except when they do and you remember why they stopped. Daft, but broadly enjoyable if you're in a charitable mood.

The tag-team of filmmakers seems to have only two ideas - having stupendously ugly characters shove their mugs into the camera, or staging action sequences so dizzily you have no idea what's going on.

"Lockout" is meat-and-potatoes filmmaking at its most basic.

At the screening, in between laughing fits, people around me whispered, in awed tones, "B movie, 1956."

You might find it to be thoroughly clichéd and utterly predictable. But it's not boring. That's largely thanks to Guy Pearce.
