Video on Demand Report: Space Jails, Stooges, and Gringos

Lockout

This is a movie about a prison break. No big deal, right? They made a whole TV show about one that lasted for an improbably long time! Except ... WAIT. This prison is in space (so why it is not called Space Jail, I am sure I don't know), PLUS the break occurs when the prison is hosting a visit from the president's daughter, and the only way to get her out is to send in a disgraced former government agent who's a total loose cannon. Now are you interested?! Well, don't be: I saw it opening day and it's pretty boring.
