Review of Lockout

The French action film, far from co-productions like the Transporter series, is usually quite limited in terms of inventiveness. To try to renew the genre are already Americans. Specifically is perhaps Luc Besson (coincidentally also the architect of the aforementioned trilogy) the more committed European who move to a more suitable spot. Virtually any action film "made in Europe" seems to pass through his hands.
Replacing Jason Statham as a hero, may sound quite trite, Besson has chosen to take another Briton, Guy Pearce, rare tape of the genre, but has made his first steps. The actor does not develop bad at all (not that much is required) and hopefully you see the tables and try to build a rogue character, ironic, somewhat rebellious, but deep commitment to what he does.
His "pole" is always fragile opposite Maggie Grace (who'll be seen opposite Liam Neeson in Revenge 2: Connecting Istanbul). His role leaves no doubt that it is practically the hook of the film. A woman must become more human and, to achieve what they never even think could achieve. It's not much, but at least it's correct place.
MS1: Maximum security meets clichรฉs, platitudes and little shocking scenes (also interesting) that could make it a curious production, at least interesting to watch. Assuming that your story would to tape something more elaborate, the film does not go away after a dizzying paths and presentation puts us in a position to minute.
Technically, we are not just at a prodigy in terms of special effects (very forgettable the motorcycle chase, closer to a video game to film), but the action scenes are well resolved and even some footage in space outside could also weigh some unknown American productions punteras.Los Mather and St. Leger, virtually debut in cinema with this pastiche of action where either lack the effort that it is not all in one simple hodgepodge of scenes of shootings, fights and others. At least can become a tape to see, hang out and forget about it. Nor is their intention to pass into history.
