movie review - Lockout

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2019.04.02

This is a movie in which a soldier, having been framed, agrees to travel to a space colony to rescue the daughter of the President of the US or some similar political body. It's a straight-up incursion action film in which expectations are low and the bullet count is sky high.

Recommended. For what it is: a low-investment distraction.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
