I have to say that, despite the fact that Lockout looks like it is a direct rip-off of Escape From New York just set in space, it looks highly entertaining. This Luc Besson produced sci-fi action thriller stars Guy Pearce as Snow, a snarky mercenary sent to rescue the daughter of the President (aka Snake [...]
