Locked Down

There's a lot of disappointment from people who expected a good heist plot or a compelling marriage romcom.

I went in with no expectations at all, and the strong acting and good score were quite enough to make it enjoyable.

This movie is horrible hate saying that cause I enjoy movies by Chiwetal Ejiofor and Anne Hathaway. HBO stop making everything political.

Whilst it takes a while to get going and is annoyingly more focused on the lockdown side rather than the heist itself, Locked Down is still a really good film that's fun, funny and enjoyable. Chwitel Ejiofor and Anne Hathaway are both excellent with superb chemistry and keep the film entertaining throughout. Ben Kingsley is also really funny in a brief part. Doug Liman's direction is really good and it's well filmed. The music by John Powell is really good and the soundtrack is good.

I was wondering how long it would take them before they came up with a Covid movie and apparently it's not even that long as we're still right in the middle of it. The movie is as boring as the whole supposed pandemia. I guess they made it in the beginning of the outbreak as the measures still seem to be mild, not really what we are imposed to do now. Locked Down is too long, much too long. It's a lot of talking, a lot of uninteresting conversations.. And even though the cast contains some well known actors it's still a mediocre movie. You have to wait till the very last part to have some crime, but even that wasn't satisfying. If you want to watch endless conversations between Chiwetel Ejiofor and Anne Hathaway then this is a movie for you. If on the other hand you're sick of hearing anything about Covid just skip this one, I wish I did.

Bland, sometimes incomprehensible, story with an ending which truly makes no sense. Such a waste of excellent actors on such a boring, non-sensical story.
