Escape from space


Lockout (2012)

Directed by James Mather and Stephen St. Leger this film stars Guy Pearce, Maggie Grace, Peter Stormare and Joseph Gilgun. A CIA agent wrongly accused of espionage has to save the President's daughter who is being held hostage on a space prison.

Coming from the mind of Luc Besson the plot of this film is much as you would expect and has a fair amount in common with John Carter's Snake Plissken films. There are no real surprises along the way in this film and the characters rarely have much to offer apart from Gilgun's psychotic prisoner. Most of the film is green screen and CGI which shows, especially in the early Earth based sequences.

3/5
