Locked Up

When they did the casting call I'm 90% sure one of the requirements was you had to be unable to act yourself out of a paper bag.

Having watched it on Netflix not too long ago, I really can't see what all the fuss is about. I will assume that most people who hated it had their expectations a little too high. The film features an entire cast of unknowns, obviously. It stars Kelly McCart as Mallory, a young American girl living Southeast Asia who is sent to prison after a self-defense attack on a bully. It's not until 7-10 minutes in as the plot gets going. But when it does, things get, there I say, pretty crazy. I did not expect this to throw as many punches as it did (literally), and boy did it show; again, literally.

Now, many have criticized the film's writing, as well as the acting, and I can certainly see why. The premise (as interesting as it may sound) ain't nothing new, and this is coming from someone who saw Jailbait about a year ago; and as I've stated before, the plot doesn't really get going until 7-10 minutes in. The acting (while not good, per-say) is, in my honest opinion, not terrible.

All in all, this flick ain't nothing special. if you're one of the seekers expecting a form of substance, prepare to be disappointed, as you'll find very little of it in this. If you are, however, a movie buff seeking entertainment, this flick is definitely for you, because the true saving grace is the lead actress' (there I say) astonishing figure.

I almost ate my head. I almost cracked my skull. The producers need to be caned. Cane then knocked on their little heads. It was so unrealistic I could cry. I wanted to jump into my tv and stomp their heads. How do dogs eat a woman in front of alllllllll the inmates. It should have been classified as fantasy. Not thriller. It made me weak honestly. What nudity are people commenting about? An all ladies show and you didn't expect nudity? Seriously. Well, it could have been better acted, better scripted and better almost everything. Yet, I couldn't sto. Till the very end. 😏

Story is weak. Acting is bad. Seems like a halfhearted attempt at using a "deep" subject to slip in as much nudity as the editors could massage out. I enjoy a cheap thriller with a healthy amount of bare skin as much as anyone, but this one just lets down. Recommend you spend your free time on anything else.

The first few minutes I thought this was going to be a horrible movie..And it is..But I still watched it all and once you get used to every new character and their attempt at English..It's not the worst.. Maybe play a drinking game and drink everytime a bad accent states ' I gonna kiiill Yuuu Biiiitch! '
