From the producers of Taken…that’s all this Action Chick needs to know about the upcoming action film Lockout! However, for those of you who need more info than that, Lockout is about a guy named Snow (Guy Pearce), a “loose cannon” wrongfully accused and imprisoned for espionage against the U.S.. Apparently, he is also the only man in the world fit to rescue the president’s daughter, Emilie (Maggie Grace), who was in OUTER SPACE visiting a prison full of Earth’s most violent criminals when the inmates rebel, taking over the prison and snagging her as a hostage. Snow is offered his freedom if he can infiltrate the impenetrable prison and bring home poor Emilie.
This all sounds vaguely familiar…like if the guy’s name was Snake, and he was sent into L.A. to rescue the president’s daughter from the most violent criminals in the world…and was offered his freedom in return…hmmm.
See the outer space action in theaters starting April 13, 2012. Note: The release is one week earlier than originally announced.
At least he doesn’t have an eyepatch or a cigar.
or does he????
