First 5 Minutes of Escape from New York in Space Lockout
If you’re looking forward to Luc Besson’s not-even-trying-to-hide-it Escape from New York sci-fi remake Lockout, you’ll want to watch the first reasonably action-packed five minutes of the film, shown above. If you’re not interested in the movie, but enjoy watching actor Guy Pierce get the shit beat out of him, then you should probably watch it too, since that takes up most of the video. As for me, I wouldn’t say I’m excited about the movie, but it does look fun enough for me to drunkenly check out via Netflix at some point — thanks almost entirely to the scene above where Pierce jumps out of a building to crash through a window in another building Jason Bourne-style, and… is not Jason Bourne. I’m honestly not that difficult to please, people. (Via Twitch)
