Lockout – or the latest Luc Besson\u2019s production. \u201cBased on an original idea of Luc Besson<\/strong>\u201d says more than three times during the credits, in the beginning, and at the end of the picture (funny thing, because he lost a lawsuit for plagiarism<\/a><\/strong> for this movie).<\/p>\n

For those of who\u2019s Luc\u2019s movies\u00a0aren\u2019t\u00a0familiar with, he\u2019s the mastermind behind \u201cThe Fifth Element\u201d (or the last \u201cBruce Wills<\/strong> saves the world\u201d true film) -hopefully, sometimes we\u2019ll get to it.<\/p>\n

La Femme Nikita<\/strong> -really big in Europe at the beginning of the \u201990- and the one that breakthrough Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Leon -the firs time we saw Natalie Portman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All this are action, violent movies, directed by him. And the list will go on with all the other he produced.<\/h2>\n

He is a European cineast that has been to LA when he was young and he got a taste of what the\u00a0commercial\u00a0movies are all about.

Guy Pearce, who\u2019s starring this one right here, is one of whose career I\u2019m watching constantly.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think I have seen him before Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cMemento<\/strong>\u201d (one of the best movies ever, I got the DVD for my birthday).<\/p>\n

Ups, there it was in 1997 \u201cLA Confidential\u201d, a film-noir style with huge success starring along\u00a0Kevin Spacey<\/strong>, Russel Crowe<\/strong>, Kim Basinger<\/strong> and Danny de Vito<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Then came \u201cThe time machine\u201d, another ecranisation of H.G. Well\u2019s book by the same name. Then nothing significant,\u00a0although he had some -more cameo- appearances in Oscar-winning \u201cHurt Locker\u201d and Oscar-winning \u201cKing speech\u201d.<\/p>\n

And looking forward to the sensational \u201cPrometheus<\/a><\/strong>\u201d in June, where he has a role, not the main one, but still an important character that leaves his name on all the \u201cAlien<\/strong>\u201d universe.<\/p>\n

Ridley Scott<\/strong> made a special, fictive (I saw people saying that was real) TED Talk with him.<\/p>\n
