Lockout

This film surprised me.  For some reason, I thought it would be absolutely terrible, but it wasn’t.  It had a futuristic setting where the world’s most dangerous criminals are placed in this prison orbiting the planet.  Its main star is Guy Pierce.  He played a bad guy that you were rooting for since he was sent to go into the prison to rescue the president’s daughter.  I don’t know if it was the acting or what, but he played a likable bad guy, an unlikely bad guy.  Speaking of the tech in the film, there were a lot of special effects to make us believe this is taking place in the future.  Does he successfully recuse the girl?  No spoilers here…  I found it entertaining.
