Review For Lockout (Unrated)
At the screening, in between laughing fits, people around me whispered, in awed tones, "B movie, 1956." David Denby-New Yorker It's clichéd, ridiculous, and very entertaining. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader The tag-team of filmmakers seems to have only two ideas - having stupendously ugly characters shove their mugs into the camera, or staging action sequences so dizzily you have no idea what's going on. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Does a fine job of continually coming up with obstacle after obstacle for our two leads to dodge - not the least of which happens to be good, old-fashioned logic. William Goss-Film.com "Lockout" is meat-and-potatoes filmmaking at its most basic. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post It's the kind of movie where someone tumbling in space above the earth's atmosphere opens a parachute and lands gently on earth without even gasping for a breath. Kyle Smith-New York Post Lean, fun, smart without overthinking things and always equipped with a one-liner, Lockout is refreshingly free of the bull**** that plagues so many genre films. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth Half-heartedly attempts to emulate the charm of the likes of John Carpenter's Escape From New York. Steve Wright-SciFiNow Lockout succeeds as a result of Pearce - who delivers an enjoyable, albeit snide, performance as a government agent turned one-man-army. Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant Guy Pearce channels his inner badass as the film's lead. His cross between John McClane and Snake Plissken injects the film with much-needed comedy. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered While Lockout matches Luc Besson's other film projects in its devotion to being nothing more than a slick, uncomplicated spectacle, the film's ridiculously botched execution and lazy action sequences make it ultimately fall short. Kristal Cooper-We Got This Covered [Seems] like the kind of exciting low-concept action schlock that producer Luc Besson could have engineered in his sleep. Maybe he had indigestion that night. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline The sort of movie that, in decades past, would have top-lined Kurt Russell or Jean-Claude Van Damme - a macho SF action flick with no artistic pretensions. Ian Berriman-SFX Magazine A film this refreshingly flip rests as much on the passable competence of its director(s) as the enduringly shrugging shoulders of its protagonist. John Semley-Slant Magazine Lockout is a film derivative of several notable genre classics, but the film does offer some entertainment value. R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD Whenever Guy Pearce's Snow is on screen, the film's a fun, brainless, action flick with a main character that deserves a better movie. Jeffrey Lyles-Lyles' Movie Files What surprises is how much guilty pleasure directors Mather and St.Leger, who sound like islands off the coast of France, rather than filmmakers, wring from Lockout's 95 minutes. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray ... [Guy] Pearce makes it fun. Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review Even once it has run its course, Lockout is no knockout. Graham Young-Birmingham Post The only thing this film was missing was the New World Pictures logo to come up at the beginning of it. Widgett Walls-Needcoffee.com Sometimes, it is all about tone, and while Lockout has enough flaws to shake several sticks at, it is a film entirely in the vein of the silly, riotously fun John Carpenter sci-fi forays of the 80s Shaun Munro-What Culture The first disappointing movie that concentrates too much on character and not enough on action. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media James Mather and Stephen St Leger's debut feature isn't smart, it doesn't have anything to say about the human condition and it never takes itself remotely seriously, but none of that matters with a film this much fun. Jordan Farley-SFX Magazine The action beats, while decently handled, actually lingers shorter in the memory than the force of Pearce's surprisingly light and lively personality.
