MOVIE REVIEW

CIA agent Snow (Guy Pearce) is captured by Secret Service director Scott Langral (Peter Stormare), , who was investigating a mole that is selling governmental secrets. Snow claims he's innocent, and later directs his friend, Secret Service agent Harry, to find Snow's contact and friend, Mace , and find the location of a briefcase containing the information that Armstrong had acquired about the mole.
Meanwhile, Emilie Warnock (Maggie Grace), daughter of President Warnock ,travels to M.S. One, a maximum security penitentiary in Space, where convicts are kept in suspended animation, to investigate claims that the statis might affect prisoners' minds, leading to psychopathy and dementia, and that they're being experimented on by the government. One of the prisoners, Hydell is awakened so Emilie can interrogate him, but he steals a gun from Emilie's bodyguard Hock  and escapes. Hydell releases all the prisoners and starts a riot, led by his brother Alex
Emilie and her associates are captured, and Alex decides to kill one of them to prove their point. Hydell quickly kills the Warden. Hydell destroys all the ships aboard M.S. One against Alex's orders, preventing the Secret Service from sending a team to rescue the hostages.
Snow guided by Shaw manages to enter the storage room and rescue Emilie. Alex cuts his communication link with Shaw. Hydell prepares to rape Emilie, but Alex stops him. Infuriated, Hydell stabs Alex dead. He returns to Emilie, but Snow stops him, and escapes with Emilie as Hydell and the others chase them. Meanwhile, a bomb is planted on M.S. One. With Shaw's guidance, Snow and Emilie find skydiving suits and jump out of M.S. One as the bomb explodes, killing Hydell and all the others. Emilie thanks him for saving her life and they begin a romantic relationship.

A man wrongly convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage against the U.S. is offered his freedom if he can rescue the president’s daughter from an outer space prison taken over by violent inmates.
** If I was the main character in the movie (Snow, Guy Pearce),  I will save the president’s daughter with the help of a special squad. This is because the prisoner’s in MS 1 was too many and quite dangerous to hand over alone. This method will make Snow’s mission (to save Maggie and his friend Mace) easier n safer! Maybe the MS 1 prison should not be exploded because it will cost billions dollars to remake a prison alike.
