poseye Make no mistake, the humor in this film was quite amusing, and Guy Pearce's character was the center of attention. The movie seemed to lack a very well developed storyline, as there was only one thing to the movie- save the president's daughter. Therefor, it is predictable, although there are a few 'twists'. Also there is not much backstory or depth to the characters, and the viewers just learn as they go.The audience doesn't know a lot about how, what, why, and when everything with 'the case' happened. Although the action right off the back was gripping, there was no dimension. And for being set in the future with space prisons- the world didn't look too evolved- especially getting to see the inside of the hotel room.

akash-keserwani its a average story in which president,s daughter is been hostage with some few others and a cocky guy is been sent to bring her back from some space jail does,nt interests at all but some good humour and some very good acting performance i consider it a bit average movie but its humour makes it interesting.

Jackson Booth-Millard I remember seeing the trailer for this film a couple of times, I thought it looked like a good idea and concept, and the cast certainly drew me to a bit more as well, so I watched and hoped for something good. Basically in the year 2079, ex-CIA agent Snow (Guy Pearce) is arrested, falsely accused of treason against the United States and the murder of undercover agent Frank Armstrong (Miodrag Stevanovic), by chief of the secret service Scott Langral (Peter Stormare). Meanwhile Emilie Warnock (Taken's Maggie Grace), the daughter of the President of the United States, Jeff Warnock (Peter Hudson), is visiting MS One, a maximum security prison in outer space, to investigate claims of a huge corruption, that the prisoners, in stasis, could develop mental instability. Prison warden Barnes (Mark Tankersley) allows Warnock to interview deranged prisoner Hydell (Joseph Gilgun), but he manages to escape, subduing the staff in the central room and releasing all prisoners, including his brother Alex (This Is England's Vincent Regan) who becomes the riot leader. Veteran agent Harry Shaw (The Walking Dead's Lennie James) offers Snow his freedom if he agrees to go on a mission, to infiltrate MS One and rescue the president's daughter, once he gets there and he does find her, Emilie being idealistic refuses to leave without taking other hostages as well. Also starring Tim Plester as John James Mace and Jacky Ido as Hock. Pearce is alright as the brash and wisecracking maverick government operative, Grace does okay as the pretty humanitarian and daughter of the U.S. president, and Gilgun and Regan are chilling as the insane adversaries, this is a near predictable jail breakout story where criminals take over and cause havoc, but the prison being in outer space gives it a bit more of a claustrophobic element, and there are enough violence and gun shooting sequences to keep you engaged, a relatively fast-paced science- fiction action thriller. Worth watching!

Python Hyena Lockout (2012): Dir: James Mather, Stephen St. Leger / Cast: Guy Pearce, Maggie Grace, Peter Stormare, Lennie James, Vincent Regan: One can only wish that they were locked out of the theatre and spared the time wasted to view it. The title somewhat symbolizes fact or truth as Guy Pearce plays a former government agent framed for a murder he did not commit. It regards a space station where the most dangerous criminals are kept frozen, and the President's daughter ventures up there to evaluate the program. Due to extreme stupidity that only the biggest of idiots could muster, the criminals get loose and all hell breaks lose leaving little miss V.I.P stranded. The answer is to send Pearce up to get her out. From there it is a lot of blowing criminals up and kicking ass. We know where this is headed and it is all a load of crap. Pearce manages to maintain confidence with a few funny lines during an interrogation, but Maggie Grace as the President's daughter is an absolute joke. First off, she's hot, therefore making us supposedly give a crap. Secondly, she apparently cares for the other hostages but this also comes off as a contrived excuse to make her look good for being White House loyalty. Her best scene arrives when Pearce punches her in the face in an attempt to make her blend in. Peter Stormare and Lennie James are a waste as secret agents. Vincent Regan plays the pitiful leader of the revolt in the prison and he is about as intimidating as a tampon commercial. While the production is fair and action fast paced, the screenplay is such as yawner that the film is deserving of a walk out and a lock out both. Score: 3 ½ / 10
