Compassion is a powerful feeling and those with the ability and means to extend their assistance may be willing to go as far as they are needed.

"Lockout" is a sci-fi thriller that revives the idea that, just because criminals are cast away from society, that doesn't mean they are completely lost and there is still hope of getting them back on track. Well, that sounds like a promising script if they would at least stick to the most meaningful subject. However, the story direction is more focused in getting chills from the audience by using lots of violence and fast moves. Guy Pearce plays an adorable and petulant agent, sometimes even funny, but the whole ride is way too commercial. What is the use of getting inspired by ideas if you're not going to use them anyway?
