Locked is a really slick, tightly-spun crime thriller that seems to take a good deal of inspiration from Joel Schumacher's Phone Booth. Read full review

Sure, Locked is a remake. It doesn’t hold a lot of surprises if you’ve seen the original. Yes, it has “Hollywood” touches. But Hopkins and Skarsgård and Yarovesky deliver, even if they leave out my favorite joke from the original film. Read full review

Despite lacking the same polish as many other movies the two leads have been in before, it's still a thrilling rollercoaster that offers plenty of twists and turns, making for a generally interesting addition to both actors' careers. Read full review

The seeds of a nice little white-knuckle thriller are evident but they never germinate properly. The end result is profoundly disappointing and can’t be saved by the few individual moments that do work. Read full review

Produced by horror legend Sam Raimi and a remake of the Argentinian film "4x4," your mileage may vary with "Locked," an intimate piece with dedicated performances and a weirdly relatable thematic core, but thrills leaving much to be desired. Read full review

Locked starts promisingly, and then almost refuses to really go anywhere, trapped by its own concept and unwillingness to do anything thematically richer than “wealthy people be crazy.” Read full review

Throughout, the filmmakers’ sympathies are lost in a confusing haze of cynicism. Read full review
