Thoughts on Locked Down
Thoughts – Locked Down is one of the more insulting movies of the year, using the Covid pandemic for a story, making a point that Lockdown was hard for people in London, while not acknowledging people who were out there working during it, the relationship drams are over the complicated needed, while trying to slap in a heist movie, without it being a heist movie. This is more eye rolling that anything else, becoming one of the more painfully films to watch, despite having an all-star cast through the film. This is a frustrating movie to watch, leaving us feeling empty and uninspired.
Final Thoughts – Locked Down is an insulting movie never understanding how to connect with the audience.
