Maggie Grace resumes her career of daughter in jeopardy except this time, she is in space! Why did I watch Lockout when Liam Neeson is not in it? I love Lennie James and must have added his movies indiscriminately to my queue. Big mistake. It isn’t absolutely wretched, but it also isn’t good. Lockout is so contrived. Sometimes you can use guns to shoot through doors on a prison space station, and sometimes you can’t. The editor must have been shot through the airlock because at times, it felt like the movie may have explained things better, but the scenes were cut out inadvertently. Guy Pearce is pretty, but even he and Peter Stormare of Prison Break fame growling at each other doesn’t help the parade of ridiculous tropes that are trotted out one by one. Lockout features the worst secret service ever, contrived romance, a bookend mystery that we’re supposed to care about, but don’t, prisoner abuse, nutty rapey prisoners, etc. Skip it like a stone on the water.
