Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A prison movie – in space! The year is 2079, the jail an experimental facility where 500 of earth's most horrible crims are kept, artificially asleep.
Now, wouldn't the US President's daughter Emilie (Maggie Grace) arrive on a humanitarian mission the very day there's a mass break-out? With killers and rapists running amok, the authorities send in crack agent Snow (Guy Pearce, beefed-up) with orders to rescue Emilie alone.
Echoes of Die Hard are unignorable as Pearce wisecrackingly eludes every attempt by the vicious cons to catch him. It's strictly B-movie material, played at an agreeably brisk clip and not without a few laughs.
