Holy Grit! Guy Pearce Blasts Thru The Crap In LOCKOUT Poster

by Simon de Bruyn, February 17, 2012 8:17 AM


In Australia we have a famous cleaning product called Spray n' Wipe with a classic jingle (it's a breeze, it cuts through the toughest grease). Turns out we could have just used local boy Guy Pearce all along, if this poster is any indication.

Seriously, look at him: the bloke is just smashing through all that sweat, dirt, grit and splintering grimy dust, just glaring down his strange-angled gun at the graphic designer who must have been Photoshopping the shit out of that poster. Coupled with the line "from the producers of Taken" like that's something to be proud of, it's some kinda B-grade awesome.

Guy's doing a good job too -- Maggie Grace is spotless.

Christ what an awful poser. This looks like the cover of a generic, straight-to-DVD Dolph Lundgren actioneer, not a sci-fi flick.

That "something to be proud of" line made me guffaw so loud everyone in the office looked at me.

Recently saw Taken and couldn't believe all the rave reviews. The script, dialogue and acting are all pretty terrible. Liam Neeson, like Brendan Gleeson, should stop trying American accents

C'mon it's not that bad, lets face it there are worse posters out there..
