MORE OF ME

(Movie Review) LOCKOUT (2012)

I'm not going to make a big effort to come up with stuff to say about this movie? Why? Because it is really not worth the time. This movie is not anything to get too excited about or to take time to find. It's about as "meh" as you can get.

Storyline: Set in the near future, a falsely convicted ex-government agent has one chance at obtaining freedom. He must undertake a dangerous mission to rescue the President's daughter from rioting convicts at an outer space maximum-security prison.-IMDB.COM

Thoughts? This movie will forever be known to me as a movie with the WORST action scene in the history of movies. There is a scene where Guy Pearce is being chased on a motorcycle that looks like it was made by a 10 year old. It is trash. Maggie Grace is beyond horrible as an actress. She was tolerable in Taken and on LOST, but she is horrible in this movie.

I will give credit to Guy Pearce  for the physical shape he go in for the role. At some points in the movie I felt that this role was made for Hugh Jackman, because of Guy's size, mannerisms, and overall look. It was a real departure from what I have seen Pearce do in the past.

I would recommend that you skip the movie. It's just no good.
