    • Trivia
      In October 2015, John Carpenter won a plagiarism case against Luc Besson over 'Lockout' proving clear similarities to Escape from New York (1981) and Escape from L.A. (1996). A French court ruled that enough similar distinctive elements from both Carpenter's films were borrowed to merit a sanction.
    • Goofs
      With the bulletproof glass and other security measures, there is no reason for the Secret Service members to be in the prisoner room during the interview.
    • Quotes

      Emilie Warnock: Who are you? Who sent you?

      Snow: Your old man did.

      Emilie Warnock: My dad. What did he say?

      Snow: Well, I didn't get to meet him personally. He kind of delegated your rescue. He had a big conference on the corn surplus.

      Emilie Warnock: You're kidding me?

      Snow: No. No, apparently, we should all be eating more corn.

      Emilie Warnock: About my father?

      Snow: Oh, yeah. I made that other bit up.

      Emilie Warnock: Did he have a message for me?

      Snow: Yes. You are adopted.

    • Alternate versions
      Available on DVD in a Unrated version that restores violence cuts for a PG-13 rating. The Unrated version is the only version included on Retail DVD/Blu-ray. But Redbox and Rental versions still carry the PG-13 cut. For instance in the Unrated cut, one can clearly see Snow shooting a person in the mouth which is not shown in the PG-13 cut.

    Very fun and Entertaining for what it is
    First off, Lockout is not meant to be taken seriously. It is a fun action sci-fi movie that breaks the boundaries of what it physically possible. Remember when you were a kid playing with your little action figures in the sandbox, well that is how they designed Lockout. They forgot about what is real and what can actually be done and simply had fun.

    Guy Pearce is hilarious and teamed up with Maggie Grace the laughs just keep rolling. It is an action, sci-fi, comedy that is amazingly well crafted if you can take your thinking cap off and just have fun. There are a few plot twists, but nothing you didn't see coming. While Lockout doesn't really bring anything completely new to the table, it is very entertaining and well worth multiple viewings.

    Due to mixed reviews I did not expect much, but Lockout really impressed me with its style and fast paced action. Other reviews has said that the special effects looked terrible, that is simply because of the style. One thing Lockout has is style and solid direction and cinematography. They knew what they were doing with this movie and they pulled it off perfectly.

    The PQ & AQ were great on Blu-ray and while the special features were lacking, it is still a solid Blu-ray release.
