Als US-Präsidententochter Emilie (Maggie Grace) in das High-Tech-Gebäude reist, gerät sie in Lebensgefahr: Während eines Komplottes werden die Insassen aus ihren Gefängnis-Kapseln befreit und bringen die MS: One unter ihre Kontrolle. Undercover-Agent Snow (Guy Pearce), der einst zu Unrecht für einen Mord verurteilt wurde, bekommt auf der Erde ein Ultimatum gestellt: Stoppt er die feindliche Übernahme, bietet ihm die US-Regierung seine Freilassung an.

Eine schreckliche Langeweile, in der Guy Pearce bemüht ist, Liebe und Verständnis im Stil von John McClane zu verbreiten, jedoch das Drehbuch gibt ihm weder ausreichend viele scharfe Botschaften noch genug geradlinige Situationen. Die Anzahl der erklärenden Schlagzeilen vom Anfang sollten jemanden dazu bringen, über das Ganze nachzudenken und es zu einer auffälligen Variation der 80er umzuschreiben. Diesen Verschwörungspudel mit einem Action-Dobermann zu kreuzen funktioniert einfach nicht.

Straightforward and thoroughbred entertainment that looks like it came out of the eighties. Guy Pearce’s dry lines were the best that I’ve heard in a long time and killing convicts becomes funny at the moment when they depart this earth by triggering voice-triggered bombs with an F-word on their tongue. Maggie Grace looks super and overall she is really nice. The villain most deserving a mention is the main nutter, brother of the main capo, played excellently by Joseph Gilgun. The story is a variation on old Carpenter movies, crossed with Die Hard, with an ending that will have your eyes goggling. A laid-back relaxing ride.

Guy Pearce surprised me in this movie to the extreme. I knew the movie existed, but I’ve always been annoyed by the reviews which said that the camera is shaky and the whole thing sucks. In the end, I made time to watch the movie. And I have to say that it’s pretty easy to ignore the camera. However, what you can’t ignore is the perfectly written character that was played perfectly by Guy Pearce. The moment I saw his character I remembered the best action roles of the eighties. John McClane and so on. Guy keeps uttering one catchphrase after another, everything pisses him off, everything angers him. The kind of a good guy I grew up with. That’s why this movie made me so excited in the end. Nowadays, you don’t get to see these characters as much.

Explosive, uninhibited, breathtaking, indefensible. And even more irresistible. Guy Pearce has found his new career challenge and alongside the increasingly beautiful Maggie, he has proven to be a first-class stud. Thanks to the relentless pace of lines and the killer tempo, Lockout is a blast that locked me in for an hour and a half and spat me back into the world at the end, where we'll probably have to wait a few more years for space prisons. Pure action fun in its most positive form.

When logic goes on a trip, preferably off its home planet, and leaves at home a full house of catchphrases, leaden lines, and memories of John Carpenter (and McLane), it's met with a cool cast of villains for whom oral hygiene is a dirty word. You'll forgive it in the end for the fact that it started with the most awful digital chase of the new millennium and that Luc Besson is simply doing drugs because something that dumb wouldn't come to us from the other side of the galaxy.
