Lockout is a prison-break action flick in space. Guy Pearce is the surly secret agent Snow, tasked with rescuing the president’s daughter, played by Maggie Grace, from a maximum security prison in low orbit, which has been taken over by inmates.

Based on the novel of the same name, this young adult fantasy film is jarring and powerful. It captures the feel of Suzanne Collins’ novel well, even if it doesn’t strictly follow the path.
The new Three Musketeers film was one of my favorites in the theater last year. With great action scenes, impressive sets, engaging CGI elements, especially the intro, the film is a fun and visually outstanding adventure.
