Lockout

LOCKOUT (2012) - April 25, 2012
Though Guy Pearce was just was awesome as I was hoping he'd be as a wisecracking action hero who has to save the president's daughter from convicts in a space jail (actually no -- more awesome), the film that surrounded him was pretty mediocre.  Passable, but mediocre.  I miss wisecracking action heroes who always seem to have a one-liner at the ready, and so I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed Pearce in the role.  I just wish that the movie itself could have been a bit better. **1/2
