Review of Locked Down

Locked Down (I) (2021)
7/10
Not what the trailer portrays the movie to be.
14 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Story progressively built up, it's explained the process up until the movie climax point.

I wished they would've doubled down on some scenes, felt like they overreacted to some things in the film (acting wise), but the nature of COVID is that, some people can't help but go mad over a necessary lockdown.

Not the first time i've watched Chiwetel, but on a more soft/calm movie, his voice makes the movie way more pleasant to watch.

I also liked the fact they reference some things COVID related in real life.

Surprised with how this came out in the end, but i would point out that the ends feels a bit incomplete, at least for me.

I mean they pulled off the heist but and managed to get away and luckily got hit with another 2-week lockdown, but what happened with the diamond? They just kept it during the 2nd lockdown? Were they not able to sell the diamond and donate to the NHS?

Overall it's a decent watch with the shaky camera feel and by default it's a better movie than Songbird.

Would recommend.
