A man jumps out of a space station and lands on a freeway. Let me repeat that. A man jumps out of a space station and lands on a freeway. Okay, just in case you didn't hear me the first two times, a man jumps out of a space station and lands on a freeway. There is nothing more to say......except that a man jumps out of a space station and lands on a freeway.

In a time when most 80s action heroes either are or should be retired, it's down to one Australian character actor to pick up the rein and ham it up to 11. Sure, the plot is asinine and for some reason the leftover lens-flare from Abrams' Star Trek has found its way to every poorly rendered effects shots here, BUT Pearce is an absolute joy every time he opens his mouth.

I think they used that space prison to lock up all the Teal and Orange in the world for crimes against good taste. This movie reached some sort of Stupidity Ceiling but shamelessly kept going upwards, finally reaching Peak Retardation just when my brain was about to liquefy. Features the ugliest looking sci-fi bike chase in history and rips off the Death Star trench run for good measure. Guy Pierce is the only saving grace and will make you touch yourself.

Virtually every line Pearce utters contains a lame wisecrack. Is 'Lockout' a particularly good film? I suppose not. Did it entertain me and make me nostalgic for the less serious action flicks of the 90s? Sure did.

I don't understand - why did the U.S. government spend hundreds of billions of dollars building a space station prison instead of just using one on earth? Why can one prisoner getting ahold of one pistol with one clip take over the whole prison? Why does the space station threaten to crash into earth for no apparent reason? NONE OF THIS MOVIE MAKES SENSE! Still, Guy Pearce's one-liners are hilarious.

Lockout is pretty forgettable, it's not particularly bad, but this movie is elevated by Guy Pierce's presence by a good mile. These kind of films need to fully embrace the whacky and absurd sides of them, unfortunately this feels like it has a foot in each door, and just kinda becomes silly and wonky with its plot turns that it divulges into mediocrity with some surprisingly bad effects at times. Could've been something cool, but at least Pierce did his thing.

Guy Pearce and Lennie James save what they can out of this subpar PG-13 action romp in space. While Mather and St. Leger have a great grasp on their characters and world, their story plods along and never really goes anywhere interesting. Lockout further proves Luc Besson needs to come out of self-induced Arthur-and-the-Invisibles-retirement and go back to directing some badass action flicks, as much of Lockouts problems come from its two uninspired directors.

Numbingly stupid and incredibly generic, LOCKOUT is about as unthrilling as action films get. From a chase scene early on with some shockingly awful special effects, to the dull and repetitive dashing around a orbital maximum-security prison, to the dull characters, limp jokes, and flat acting...LOCKOUT is a pretty dire ride throughout. Guy Pearce, to be fair, tries to have some fun with the role, and it takes a rather hilarious shit on physics...but on the whole, there's not much here.

Guy Pearce would make a really good James Bond...is what Luc Besson is trying to tell us with this movie. I am fit to agree with him after watching this movie. I loved the campy action. I thought Guy Pearce was really charming and fun to watch. I'm not too sure about the chemistry between Pearce and Maggie Grace. It wasn't very believable. Of course, she did end up being one of those cool strong women that Besson loves so well. But, unlike his other movies, the guy is the hero here...usually

Guy Pearce manages to make this film fun and watchable with a character that is just entertaining despite being pretty unbelievable. It suffers from a few problems, the two biggest being some awful CGI at the beginning and being to predicable. You could do worse (cause at the very least you should have fun with this) but you could probably also find something much better.

Kind of blah. Pearce's performance is entertaining, but the movie's neutered to the point of high annoyance, and it's sort of ugly to look at, to boot. Basically, it's the kind of redundant, through-the-motions, cluttered sci-fi actioner that shoulda gone straight to DVD and starred Dolph frigging Lundgren or somebody.

No, not Taken in space. But actually a sci-fi actioner unlike most flicks that arrive at theaters -- I would file it next to Riddick for being both Carpenter-esque and totally uncompromising and sleazy concerning its own story. This is a visually well-crafted film -- those blue interiors and corridors are suffocating --, filled with tons of sleazy, Snake-like jokes and absurd solutions -- Snow and the girl leaving the prison and successfully landing on Earth is pure stupid-B-movie delight.

Dumb and riddled with plot holes, but an entertaining 90 minutes. It plays like a cross between Escape from New York and a van Damme film from back when he was at his peak. Cynical wisecracking antihero and feisty sidekick vs bad guys. Some people said the CGI was a letdown, but I didn't notice. All CGI looks like CGI to me, I'm not sure what defines good from bad in that area.

In hindsight, this really is a pretty bad movie. The antagonists are undeveloped and accomplish hardly anything, there's some really bad CGI work, and a lot of the old action movie cliches are used shamelessly. And yet...I found Pierce's character compellingly amusing, and Grace does a nice job, rising above the simple damsel in distress.

Honestly, this film looked like another teen/summer film, but it isn't! It does have a standard lead, but it has a great dynamic in the conflict between two villains. It's got good effects, a cast who can actually act, lots of great fight sequences. I strongly recommend this film for anyone who likes action.

Absolutely ridiculous. Nothing makes sense. How'd the prisoner get the gun and kill the guard at the start in this crazy space prison in space? Why wasn't he immeadiately killed? Why is the control room so easily accessible? Why are they able to unfreeze all the prisoners so easily? Why does someone need to be constantly there to make sure it doesn't crash into the earth? Goddamn it.

Oddball pairing of Grace and Pearce makes up for some loose plotting in this very silly but entertaining sci-fi caper movie. You'll see everything coming but that's half the fun. Very much cut-price Besson brand: witty script, ridiculous plot, wise-cracking deadbeat and half-dressed not-quite-damsel getting beat up and sweaty and a supporting cast of n'er-do-wells giving it their all. Short and sweet B-movie melarky that challenges you to say it's stupid - and then ups the ante scene by scene.

A fun sci-fi/prison movie starring Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace. This movie was pretty entertaining. I especially loved Pearce and Grace's witty banter throughout the film. Sure the sets were pretty space station generic but I did really like some of the characters in this. This movie also had some good action sequences and provided some pretty extreme bad guys with Scottish accents. I really loved the invention of a space suit that you can enter Earth's atmosphere in.

Surprisingly fun chaotic and formulaic action/sci-fi film. Despite the appalling CGI and effects scenes and a silly premise, the film comes to life through the writing of Guy Pearce's character, and his supremely wise-cracking comic book hero performance. His chemistry with Maggie Grace is good, and the script has plenty of humour to disarm the slightly nonsensical plot details and generic one-against-hundreds chases and set pieces. No classic, but more memorable than the myriad action clunkers.

This movie should have been made 20 years ago with Sylvester Stallone. Maybe then it would have had a shot, but in 2012 the complete corniness and lackluster special effects do not work. As for Guy Pearce, a talented actor, he comes across forcing his character down our throats---but perhaps that's the film doing that to us. I don't know. Either way, I was disappointed with 'Lockout.'

A simple premise with a gimmicky B-plot, Lockout would have at least been entertaining if it was better written. As it is, the film has atrocious dialogue delivered apathetically by its cast; though Grace seems to be the only one putting in a modicum of effort. The effects and cinematography are B-movie schlock, which is usually elevated by charm or novelty, but the film chooses to forego that and linger in its mediocrity. Bland and mercifully forgettable.

So, I guess executions are still somehow more expensive than sending death row inmates to space prison? Guy Pierce is the classic 90's action hero complete with one-liners that elevate this to campy hilarity. Contains some cringe worthy CGI, horrible "American" accents, but Joseph Gilgun from Misfits works well in his delightfully demented role.

Guy Pearce is a 100% bad ass in this film. Cheesy dialogues consisting of one-liners most of the time. The plot is a convoluted mess, the ending felt like the director ran out of budget and decided to cut the film short. The action is solid. But the star of the film is Hydell, guy is the perfect maniac, without which this movie would have scored lower with me.

This is not very good, but a fun and easy watch. If you like me were into Sly or Snipes 90s action, this is for you. There is also an impressing attempt to break the record for the most one liners in a film.

Enjoyable, but in a 'oh god, thats so bad' sort of way. The dialogue is dumb and the CG effects are some of the worst I've ever seen. But, it is a great idea, held together by Guy Pearce - if it weren't for him, this film would be unwatchable - also the guy from Emmerdale playing psycho Hydell, his best role ever.

Guy Pearce, was, per usual, very good here. The storyline, plot devices and and action sequences, however, need a lot of work. The whole thing is predictable and sloppy, with the exception of a few aspects. Bottomline: If you like Pearce, see this for that sole purpose. Othwerwise, don't give 'Lockout' a watch, because most likely, you won't be wowed by any means.

Lockout isn't the worst thriller that I've seen, but it definitely doesn't really break any new ground. Some of the plot gets a little convoluted, which sort of undermines the whole "Die Hard on a space station" feel of the film. The one thing I did like was Guy Pearce's wise-cracking undercover agent, who carried a lot of his scenes with the wry chemistry he had with Maggie Grace's character. Other than that, the action was OK and the villains seemed a little copycat.

Apart from Guy Pearce and Joseph Gilgun (Rudy from series 3 of Misfits and This is England) who looked like they had fun with their roles, everything else was really quite bad.

This is more my kind of action film - something a bit different, doesn't take itself too seriously, some entertaining baddies and a nice little twist at the end. Certainly not a classic, but an entertaining 90 minutes.

Somehow it pulls me in. Perhaps it's the relationships. There's something magically between the hero and his handlers, the handlers and the lead criminal, the lead criminal and his crazy brother, the crazy brother and the girl, the girl and the hero. The interactions are engaging and seem real somehow, despite the movie's other failings.

Saved by the great Guy Pearce and his never-ending one liners and Maggie Grace still looks cute.
