Guy Pearce É super foda nessa performance do galã herói,com muito carisma. Maggie Grace de Taken,está fenomenal também aquela Branquinha Gostosa cheia de carisma também. Interessante E fascinante história. Com boa dose de ação.humor e nada de romance. Boas cenas de ação ótimo filme.

When the protagonist's first response to being asked "What happened in that hotel room" by a government interrogator is "I was trampolining your wife", you know you're in for a treat. Snow feels similar to Drake from Uncharted, but **** and a tad bit more badass. Watching him in action is a thrill, as he takes on hundreds of convicts by himself. The mystery of the case and the events that open the film are slowly dealt out, ending in a huge reveal that makes you really think. The two main villains are well-acted, with one being a sane man who wants to negotiate with the government, the other a psychopath who is really the worst humanity has to offer. You really need to see this movie.

The pretty good thriller Lockout peaks with its first shot...When the camera moves and the plot kicks in - as it must - the movie loses its witty economy. Things get cluttered.

Most of the time Lockout is pleasant enough, not something to recommend to a friend, but enjoyable in the moment. Guy Pearce has a lot to do with that, as the most impervious action star imaginable.

Luc Besson's clunky, space-bound actioner apes '80s B-flick excess but skimps on all the good parts. Fans of really bad science and pixelated CGI won't be disappointed, though.

Enjoy it, in moderation. It's your recommended weekly allowance of schlock.

Besson co-wrote and produced this cheesy mash-up of elements from James Bond and "Battlestar Galactica."

This is no Fight Club or Braveheart but a VERY GOOD film all the same, if you have been getting sick of all the BADLY made movies lately you should see this movie. I don't understand where this bad rating or coming from......maybe people started liking bad movies like Transformers,Battleship or the like.

Despite it's awful CGI effects, giant plot holes and boring comedy, this silly sci-fi action/comedy still manages to be entertaining. If you're looking for a mindless action movie, you'll probably enjoy it.

Action in orbit as psychopaths take over their space-station-prison and flawed hero is sent to rescue feisty President's daughter who happens to be on board. Wholly predictable, occasionally brutal things happen with a peppering of dry humour and flirting. OK if you've time to kill, but it's not one I'll bother with again.

I like Guy Pierce, but he can't even save this film. Good concept, but poor execution led by a poor script Lockout has its moments but not enough for this bad movie.

Absolutly hated this movie. Were do i begin... Well to start, about as cliche as i can get, it also focuses on nothing but action. Explosions, and all that random unnecasary crap. And i predicted the ending from the begining. And if you like realism, dont watch.. He should have died in the first five minutes. And he also does abunch of other imposible crap. Bad movie.
