This movie has all the ingredients to be the next great lesbian cult film. Naked women fighting, bad acting, bad script and low budget. That's as good as it gets.

Cult film?

Laughable

I don't know what the first two reviewers class as a good movie or what they have been eating but this movie is the worst pile of horse plop that I have ever watched. From start to finish guys................plop, plop and even more plop. I suppose if you have a spare evening in, maybe you can drown yourself in the toilet, hang yourself from the attic or maybe watch this movie and believe me the first two are a lot more tempting than having to put up with the pile of plop they call Locked up. Ha ha ha ha. pure bunkum.
Plain bad

Astoundingly Bad
Cageice12 March 2018
Story is weak. Acting is bad. Seems like a halfhearted attempt at using a "deep" subject to slip in as much nudity as the editors could massage out. I enjoy a cheap thriller with a healthy amount of bare skin as much as anyone, but this one just lets down. Recommend you spend your free time on anything else.
Concept was good but ridiculously unrealistic
brandyjirik2 April 2018
I watched it to the end (it was hard)and can honestly say this was the most ridiculous movie I've seen in a VERY long time.The storyline would've been good but it completely failed to follow thru.Everything about this movie was completely inconceivable.If you want to see senseless nudity and can turn off the common sense part of your brain then you "might" be able to watch this.Jail can be brutal but nothing about this movie was realistic.NOTHING.
Quite possibly the worst movie ever made

Attack of the killer tomatoes wins an Oscar for best picture compared to this. I don't know if this even qualifies as a B movie. I would say D or E. The acting is terrible, the story is worse. If you like gratuitous nudity you'll like this one. The positive reviews must be done by 10 year old boys that wanted to see some boobies. She says the food is dog sh(i)t mixed with horse sh(i)t but right next to the soup is cases of fresh fruit. WTH? And how are they able to get cans of spray paint of every color into the prison? If they are able to smuggle don't you think they'd get something better than spray paint to graffiti the walls?
I have no words

Everything about this movie is bad. I was expecting martial arts. All I got was bad music, terrible lines, awful acting, the most pathetic lesbian sex scene, and a weak crying girl turning into Rambo in less than 7 days. Actually hilarious.
An Honet Review

I guess some people are shocked by the nudity... I'm sorry, I should have written it as "shocked." As in, they are pretending that they sat down to watch it and weren't expecting a Women in Prison exploitation film.
Everyone else, however, caught this on Netflix because it was a Women in Prison exploitation flick and they were expecting both a significant amount of nudity, but also some violence and some horribly low production standards and locations...
... and that is EXACTLY what you got out of this. So, I really don't know what the low scores are all about, it delivered exactly what it promised to deliver. And it did so without any pretense, without pretending to be something that it was not.
So, you get exactly what you expect walking into this, nudity and violence... and if you were somehow expecting anything more, I just want to ask one question "why?"

Having watched it on Netflix not too long ago, I really can't see what all the fuss is about. I will assume that most people who hated it had their expectations a little too high. The film features an entire cast of unknowns, obviously. It stars Kelly McCart as Mallory, a young American girl living Southeast Asia who is sent to prison after a self-defense attack on a bully. It's not until 7-10 minutes in as the plot gets going. But when it does, things get, there I say, pretty crazy. I did not expect this to throw as many punches as it did (literally), and boy did it show; again, literally.
Now, many have criticized the film's writing, as well as the acting, and I can certainly see why. The premise (as interesting as it may sound) ain't nothing new, and this is coming from someone who saw Jailbait about a year ago; and as I've stated before, the plot doesn't really get going until 7-10 minutes in. The acting (while not good, per-say) is, in my honest opinion, not terrible.
All in all, this flick ain't nothing special. if you're one of the seekers expecting a form of substance, prepare to be disappointed, as you'll find very little of it in this. If you are, however, a movie buff seeking entertainment, this flick is definitely for you, because the true saving grace is the lead actress' (there I say) astonishing figure.

Watchable if not believable
bazookamouth-221-89809718 July 2020
Kinda of a throwback to the 70s prison movies really. Seemed to be well filmed if not that believable. A lot of nudity but that was common place in 70s style prison movies. Kinda like a low budget Karate Kid in an Asian correctional facility. Sometimes funny (most of the acting including a wooden Uncle of the girl), sometimes horrid (the lead ate a mouse at one point, the rape scene by the guards) but as bad as some are saying on these reviews on IMDb. I think some people when they review actually think they are real life critics. It is what it is.
THE WORST

As far as women prison movies go, "Locked Up" is an okay watch. It doesn't bring anything new to the table but that's fine. The cast is also fine. There is nothing glaringly bad with "Locked Up". It's just that there isn't much that stands out either. I might find myself watching this movie again to scratch my chicks-in-chains itch but it wouldn't be my first choice.
It is wasting of time

I almost ate my head. I almost cracked my skull. The producers need to be caned. Cane then knocked on their little heads.
It was so unrealistic I could cry. I wanted to jump into my tv and stomp their heads. How do dogs eat a woman in front of alllllllll the inmates. It should have been classified as fantasy. Not thriller.
It made me weak honestly. What nudity are people commenting about? An all ladies show and you didn't expect nudity? Seriously. Well, it could have been better acted, better scripted and better almost everything. Yet, I couldn't sto. Till the very end. 😏
I almost thought this girls behind bars genre was dead
mochteam12 June 2018
If you watched this thinking it was going to be a normal movie than you will be disappointed. Locked Up is part of the Girls Behind bars genre of exploitation flicks. Usually about attractive women that get locked up thrown in with lots of nudity and some softcore lesbian scenes or whatever. The story is usually the same about some new girl trying to get adapted and some cruel prison warden or some other cruel female inmate that wants to give the new girl a hard time by being mean to her. Really all these movies are the same and I just gave the plot away to about 90% of them.
If you like those guilty pleasure kind of flicks you'll like this I sure did. Cute girls in bad situations. The story and plot or whatever you want to call it in Locked Up was actually better than most girl behind bars movies.

Better of the worst
ecmedford23 April 2018
Not a bad movie overall but I wish I had known the amount of nudity shown. I was not prepared for the sexuality on this supposed thriller. Other than that I felt the movie had a good, original enough concept. The acting was average but still captivating enough for me to get through the movie with interest. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this movie as a thriller but if you've seen as many on Netflix as I have then you may as well cause it's one of the better of the worst.
Bad Movie!!

Just awful
garry-fowler30 July 2018
This is without doubt, the worst film I have ever seen. The premise was ok, albeit unoriginal, but the rest was terrible. Sets were amateurishly staged and lack of extras meant the whole prison population was about 8! But all this pales into insignificance when compared to the acting which was atrocious. Even if the lines were poorly written the delivery was wooden and devoid of emotion.

Not bad
Dave_douell2 September 2018
Not a bad movie, fairly entertaining. Too bad the lead actress wasn't better looking but oh well. I'm sure the prisons there are much worse than even what's portrayed here. Pretty accurate how they arrest westerners for ransom tho.
