Lockdown, formerly titled Covid-19: Invasion, is set in the plague-ravaged year of 2035. The world’s population has been decimated and there are only 29,000,000 people left. And it’s about to become 28,999,999 as, after a short chase, Rex shoots an unarmed woman despite her protestations that she’s not sick.
Sadly what most caught my attention wasn’t the brutality of the scene or the acting. It was the fact that, despite the world apparently having gone to Hell in a handbasket, Rex is driving a shiny new pickup truck, with no dirt, dents, scratches or rust to be seen. It’s reassuring to know that the auto industry and car washes will get through the crisis.
But, I digress. Rex has gotten it into his head that Covid is being spread by the homeless.
