Going into a Luc Besson film (whether he produced it, directed it, or in this case penned it) you’ll likely find two distinct elements: kick ass action and memorable/likable characters. It’s easily evidenced looking back at his earlier works like The Fifth Element, Leon, Wasabi, The Transporter and Taken.

Sweet Trailer…'Escape From M.S. One' (aka 'Lockout') UPDATED
From Europa Corp and Film District comes the Luc Besson written sci-fi film Escape from MS One (previously known as Lockout); his first other worldly adventure since The Fifth Element.

This is the international trailer which explains the subtitles but it also has some profanity so be advised. Anyway for those of you pining for another Corbin Dallas adventure, sorry this…
