Lockdown

It took me a while to make sure that it wasn't bad on purpose. You spend more time wondering how a film like this could be made... who spent money on it... and why? Obviously folks who like a lot of cheap violence. And on top of all of this... the lightning is horrible.

Its just 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 I carried on watching in hope its going to get better but its just got worst and worst!!! I lasted watching it for 30 mins, so cringy to the very core!

As I sat down to watch the 2022 action drama "Lockdown" from writers Massimiliano Cerchi and Rod Smith, then I can't really claim that I was expecting a whole lot. Why? Well, first of all, I hadn't even heard about the movie, and secondly it wasn't exactly top billing on the cast list.

But still, I opted to watch "Lockdown" on the notion of it being a new movie that I hadn't already seen, and who knew, maybe I would be pleasantly surprised with the movie?

Well, I wasn't pleasantly surprised with director Massimiliano Cerchi's movie. Sure, it was watchable, but that was about all that "Lockdown" had going on. The storyline was pretty simplistic, perhaps a bit too simplistic actually, because the movie quickly settled into monotonous droning pace and never got out of that particular ditch. And the storyline suffered from being generic and predictable.

The acting performances in "Lockdown" were adequate for a movie such as this. However, I have to say that Bai Ling's performance was just all over the place here, and she was initially one of the reasons for why I actually picked up the movie to begin with.

"Lockdown" is a movie that you will watch once and never return to a second time. I managed to sit through the entire movie, but I wasn't particularly impressed or overly entertained. If you enjoy crime thrillers then there are far better and more enjoyable and entertaining movies out there.

My rating of "Lockdown" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

One of the biggest wastes of film I've ever seen.. I was watching to see Michael pare but he was wasted.. this is garbage................................

A cluster muddle of stereotype characters locked in a cliché hostage negotiation with dreadful dialogue and a massively intrusive soundtrack. Other than that it is not too bad!

This is a vapid vanity project written, directed and produced by Massimiliano Cerchi, never seen anything from him before and hope not to in the future. Nobody emerges with glory from what is without doubt the worst movie I have had the misfortune to endure this year.
