There's nothing more perfect that watching a loud action movie in the summer, and a summer action movie that doesn't take itself seriously at all. That's what you get with Lockout, a sci-fi actioner that takes its cues from the action flicks of the 90s.
Guy Pearce is funny as Snow, the lone rogue operative agent sent into rescue the President's daughter, who's on a fact finding mission to MS One, a security prison up in space. Pearce doesn't take himself seriously and deadpans cheesy funny one liners.
There's tonnes of plot holes and inaccuracies, far more than the trailers give away but it doesn't spoil the fun. Granted that it could have used some polishing and tightening up but what do you expect with a Luc Besson "original idea"? My one complaint is that there's not enough funny one liners. There are moments when the script veers into something more dramatic, which is completely out of place for this movie. It's as if the writers wanted us to care about the plight of the President's daughter or the hostages on MS One! Despite this getting trashed by critics I'd still recommend it. It's fun and loud and you won't even question the plot holes. I certainly didn't! Hope there's a sequel in the works...
