What You Need To Know:

LOCKOUT is a violent B movie about a prison revolt in the future on a prison spaceship orbiting Earth. To get out of prison for a murder he didn’t commit, secret agent Snow offers to rescue the President’s daughter. Emilie has been taken hostage by the convicts on the prison spaceship MS One. Luckily, they don’t know who she is … yet. Before the government tries to secretly smuggle him on board, Snow learns that the friend who could free him is also aboard the prison ship. Can Snow rescue both the President’s daughter and his friend before the convict leader and his vicious brother find out?

LOCKOUT is exciting enough to merit some interest. It’s energized by a quirky, likeable performance by Guy Pearce as the wise-cracking hero. There are some plot holes, however. Also, some jumps in the story and editing are off-putting or confusing. Basically, LOCKOUT is a heroic story about saving the damsel in distress from the bad guys. That aspect of LOCKOUT is positive, if not morally uplifting, but the movie contains plenty of foul language and very strong violence. So, extreme caution is advised.
