Lockout: A good movie that never breaks the mold
29 January 2015
With great special effects, a surprisingly good amount of comedy, a great cast, great acting, a decent story, and mediocre action this 2012 sci-fi pseudo action flick is a movie with a simple plot that gets pulled off.

There's nothing really pulling this movie back except the action isn't pulse-pounding and I think the creators knew this, throwing action in at every turn where it didn't feel like it should've been.

Guy Pearce does a fantastic job as Snow, who is a great character. The First Daughter has some good parts, sometimes breaking her mold as a damsel in distress (but not until the end).

It's a good movie with nothing special, except for the characters. Some predictable-ish plot twists, being forgettable, decent rewatchability, and some decent-ish action sequences hold this movie back from a bigger score and more importantly
