Lockout review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 01/21/13
In the year 2079 CIA agent Snow (Guy Pearce) was accused of murdering an undercover agent. The daughter of US President Emilie Warnock, (Maggie Grace) is trapped in space penitentiary MS One. Pierce shines but the rest of the characters falter since they are either too irritating or too cute with the anecdotes. The humor was definitely forced, action relentless but plot uninviting. There were several coy moments especially between Snow and Emilie. Amazing how the pair of protagonists fell straight down from the ship instead of floating. Lockout felt like a fantasy than a sci-fi thriller because of it's unbelievable sequences but is entertaining enough.
