Locked In (V) (2023)
1/10
A laughable attempt at modern film
3 November 2023
To say this was a struggle to watch is an understatement.

It's already a huge issue when you have a weak and unimaginative storyline - but then theres the fact that none of the main characters are at all likeable in any way shape or form, so you're actually rooting for no one at all from the very beginning.

Maybe it's because the entire cast seem to be painfully over acting at every given opportunity; or it's because the characters are just badly written. Spoiler - it's definitely both.

I couldn't help but feel genuinely embarrassed for each of them, because the effort shows they must've thought this would be some kind of success or something...

All the metaphors and cut scenes are just badly copied and pasted from other more successful things, giving it a really cheap feel overall. Like off brand packaging.

Half of the time it feels like a sixth form media project in which students must make an advert for a Mercedes 4x4.

On top of all this, the cinematography is all very one dimensional and it makes the whole thing a yawnfest. It's just embarrassing to watch, let alone to be involved in the creation of.

Definitely one of the worst things I've seen in this day and age. My advice would be not to bother.
