Locked Down

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

This movie was put out so quickly just to take advantage of current events and it shows. Extremely boring and Chiwetel has never had any talent other than a concerned cardboard-faced copy/pasted version of undoubtedly his real life self. Anne is past her prime, which is sad to see, but it's happened.

A very pleasant movie for a rainy day. Kudos to the writer who wrote the interesting dialog that was delivered by the two main actors. I especially liked Anne Hathaway and her many monologues. The scenery in London was nice and the story kept my interest. A bit on the intellectual side, but that is what made it good for me.

Don't expect this movie to be a smart Oceans 11 style build up with detailed planning and exciting twists.

However, with accurate expectations, this film is very enjoyable and an easy evening watch. Locked Down focuses more on the central couple's relationship, and the realities of 2020's miserable lockdown (hence the title). There are some laughs and some monologues that carry on too long- but that's forgivable and expected considering the filming circumstances. A solid 7.5/10.

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.
