Featured reviews
Three Days of the Condor meets Jason Bourne meets bio warfare. Nooni Rapace was excellent as the lead. Acting was superior all the way around. Plot was good with excellent pace. The 6 rating on this film is misleading and inaccurate in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys spy/action flicks.
To tell you the truth, I did not know anything about this movie. I had neither seen the trailer nor read the synopsis to it. So you could imagine my surprise when we were given twist after twist through out the whole movie. My wife and I were pretty surprised of the first twist and we were kept on guessing till the very end (Although some twists were easier to guess than others), but nevertheless we were quite entertained.
The main story itself was a bit stereotype about terrorists plotting to do some horrifying attack and must be stopped at all costs. But the interesting part was actually those surprising twists. In addition, the fighting and gun shooting scenes were surprisingly good. The sound effects particularly during the guns blazing were cool and added the element of suspense. One more thing that I liked about this movie was the fact that they really used real-time method like in 24 TV series starring Kiefer Sutherland.
This may not be an instant classic crime thriller movie, but I personally felt that this one was not too bad. In fact it was pretty enjoyable and it even had some brief funny moments. The movie also had some interesting large cast of well known stars with John Malkovich whom I dubbed as the star performer despite having limited screen time. Orlando Bloom sadly looked old in this movie (totally unlike his performances as Legolas that made him became a ladies' favorite). While Noomi Rapace started to build her own rapport as lead star of thriller/action movies.
Now if you are a fan of a crime thriller movie with multiple twists through out the movie, combined with brief action sequences every now and then, you should give this one a try and see it for yourself. But if you are not a fan of such genre, or if you prefer a very intelligent crime thriller drama, then perhaps this would not really satisfy you.

I felt like rating it as a ten simply to fight back against the haters, but felt that it would be hypocritical to do exactly the opposite of those who so easily award 1 or 2 stars when the movie is patently far better than that.
The action took a while to build up steam but was worth the wait. The role of Jack did feel a bit contrived but this is a bloody thriller after all. Strange that Blooms role as Jack should be criticized by many as unbelievable but his biggest role, the one that launched his career and made him famous, was that of an elf.
The reason why I actually enjoy most movies, is because I can easily suspend belief in what is (excluding documentaries, of course) after all, a story made up to entertain people.
The chief criteria for my enjoyment of a movie is, was I entertained by it? Good writing, good acting and good production values all help create the impression that I watched something worthwhile. If I am entertained by the movie, I am far more forgiving of it's minor flaws.
My wife and I discussed the reason for so much negative criticism and considered it might well be because many of the Muslims were shown to be human, an idea obviously anathema to many viewers. I myself lived in Saudi Arabia for close to 10 years and understand that good and bad reside almost equally in most humans and that it takes an act of will to force oneself to rise above bigotry, greed and selfishness. I met many Muslims who were good people by choice in my time in Saudi and also many others I hope never to meet on this or any plane of existence they might believe in.
My wife and I agree on a score of 8.

Every once in awhile a movie will come out that surprises you with how good it is. Unlocked is such a movie. It has everything a movie goer wants. It has an intelligent plot, It has twists and turns within that plot, it has good acting by an A-list cast and a fast tempo delivery that holds your attention for the whole movie. All in all a very entertaining movie and I think that is all the audience wants for their money. Kudos on a job well done!
This film tells the story of a CIA agent who is haunted by her past failed mission. She is recruited to interrogate a terrorist in London, but things take a horrifying turn when she finds out that the new mission is compromised.
"Unlocked" has a great story. It is engaging, thrilling and full of surprises. There are so many twists and turns, and you just don't know who you can trust. The ending is very intense, and my palms got all sweaty! "Unlocked" is a pleasant surprise.

- TriviaNoomi Rapace had her nose fractured when she was elbowed accidentally while filming a fight scene. She didn't realize the extent of the injury until much later so, after a brief black out, she insisted on carrying on with the scene. As of April 2015, the fracture had yet to be mended and had healed crocked.
- GoofsMany semiautomatic pistols have an internal device called a "magazine disconnect safety" so the pistol cannot be fired when the magazine is removed. In the scene where Alice secretly removes the magazine, she does not rack the slide so there is still a live cartridge in the chamber of the pistol. But when she presses the gun against the man and pulls the trigger it does not fire. This is correct if the gun has a magazine disconnect safety, which it must have or else it would have fired. The fact that the gun did not fire is evidence of that safety, not an error.
