Review of Lockout

Lockout (2012)
4/10
Don't Think I Will Ever Watch This Again
8 August 2013
I didn't quite know what to expect from this movie. The trailer looks very promising so I decide to watch it. In the end it is nothing more than a B grade action movie that is very well made with utterly rubbish screenplay.

Not kidding when I say that the story is like the work of the undergraduate film student. It just plane predictable, boring, weak and full of clichéd dialogue, the whole thing is just not working out. The characters were also one dimensional and unbelievable. (Never know that prisoner in the maximum speak are so mild manner between each other?)

Anyway it wasn't all bad. The look and feel of the movie is very good. The casting is awesome. Actually the reason I watch was for Guy Pearce. But this character does him no justice. Everyone else is so-so.

In the end I decide to watch something else before coming back to finish it the next day. It wasn't good and it was not that entertaining. The writing is just really bad.

Verdict: Don't think I will ever watch this again.
