Lockout
- Title: Lockout
- IMDb: link
Borrowing pieces, plot threats, and characters from the likes of Escape From New York, Outland, Demolition Man, and others, co-writers and co-directors James Mather and Stephen St. Leger give us an outer space action film set 65 years into our future about an orbiting prison ship filled with the dregs of humanity, the President’s daughter trapped inside, and the one man who can get her home.
To put it bluntly, this ain’t Shakespeare. Lockout would feel right at home on as part of a lazy Saturday afternoon triple feature sandwiched between The Last Boy Scout and Runaway. It’s certainly a flawed piece of filmmaking, and at times dumb as a brick, but with a smart ass sense of humor and two likable leads the movie provides its share of fun moments.

I dislike zero issues. Even more so I dislike the idea of Marvel’s .1 issues, and yet somehow the House of Ideas has gotten me to shell out money for both over seven days. Honestly, other than Moon Knight (a book going away far too soon), I can’t imagine I’d have picked up another .1 issue. But this is Mark Waid’s Daredevil, and (as I expected) I got my money’s worth.
