If “Lockout” sounds a lot like “Escape From New York” (1981) to you, that’s because it is a lot like “Escape From New York.” Of course, this film takes place in a space prison and features a beautiful babe that needs saving instead of the U.S. President. That should make it more interesting. And if this clip shows us anything, it’s that the interaction between Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace could definitely heat up.
Check out the clip below and let us know what you think. This one opens next Friday, April 13th. (Is that a bad omen for the film … Friday the 13th?)
