Welcome to another Trailer Review wherein I playfully dissect movie trailers and give you serious reasons I would watch or not watch the movie they’re selling.

Today’s focus is on the recently released trailer for Lucy starring Scarlett Johansson in the lead role and Morgan Freeman on backup. Lucy is the product of writer/director Luc Besson’s creative genius. Most movie savvy geeks know Besson as the director/writer of Nikita, Leon: The Professional, and The Fifth Element.

Take a peek below the cut to view all of what his latest woman of action flick has to offer.

Previous Taken 2 trailers have ended with Bryan Millis (Liam Neeson) in a sticky situation. He and his wife (Famke Janssen) are about to be taken by the family members of all the underground human traffickers he killed in the first film and the only person who can save them is their daughter (Maggie Grace).

Now a new trailer reveals more of the plot for the action-packed sequel. Check it out below.

The first five minutes of the upcoming Luc Besson-produced sci-fi action flick Lockout have been released. You can watch the action-packed clip here below.

The movie gets right into the thick of the action with a cheeky introduction to our hero Snow (Guy Pearce), an ex-CIA agent who gets set up, double-crossed, and sent to prison. The introduction intercuts his interrogation-cum-face pounding with the backstory as to how he got there. There’s a thrilling chase, some close quarters fisticuffs, and Pearce gets plenty of wiseass one-liners. Don’t know about you folks but I’ll take this over that Total Recall remake any day. Lockout may be derivative as hell, but it sure ain’t afraid to wear its influences with a shit-eating grin of pride.

Over the weekend a clip from the upcoming sci-fi action flick Lockout was screened at WonderCon. Now the five-minute scene has been released online.

You can watch it here below.

The plot focuses on a convicted felon (Guy Pearce) who is handed the task of rescuing the President’s daughter (Maggie Grace) from a prison that has been taken over by some of its most violent inmates. Only problem is the prison is in outerspace.

Lock-Out, which on certain days goes by the alternate title MS: Maximum Security One, is the latest product from French action filmmaker Luc Besson‘s (La Femme Nikita) assembly line of big-budget drive-in movies, and judging from the early previews it’s shaping up to be one of the best.

The latest trailer for the movie has been released and you can watch it here below.
