It's stuff that we've seen before, but it's done reasonably well. Go to Full Review Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times Feb 11, 2019
Heartlock is lean, stylish and confidently crafted. Go to Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times Jan 24, 2019
The picture's gender and race dynamics, not to mention its forced star-crossed lovers theme, are sufficiently commonplace to register as hackneyed. Go to Full Review Asher Luberto Film Threat Jun 5, 2019
4/10
No matter the convincing performances and poignant points regarding politics in the prison community, this deadly dull drama doesn't get away with a get-out-of-jail-free card. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

farah r @Farah Jun 21, 2021 The performances were decent but the movie as a whole isn't good. It's boring and not enjoyable. See more nancy b @RT90759580 May 24, 2020 Wow Im a big Dreymond fan but I had to grit my teeth to finish this. A lot of old plot. Seems like the actors had. To grit their teeth too. Yikes. Who distributed this movie? Cinema is about escapism not about wanting[audience] to escape. At least Lee dies at the end. See more Jan 27, 2019 Great movie!! Great chemistry. Intense. Sensual. Gripping. Heartbreaking. Even some humor. LOVED IT!!! See more Jan 27, 2019 I liked the movie and I liked the chemistry between the two actors. See more Jan 27, 2019 I really enjoyed both the chemistry between the actors. I thought they both gave a wonderful performance. The main villain was also unique to watch. It was a great movie, It is one of those films that I could watch over and over and would also recommend it to my friends. See more Jan 27, 2019 Incredible film-- keeps your heart racing the entire time given the tension in the prison environment. Very impressive performance from Erik (Continental) as the surprisingly likable jail kingpin. See more Read all reviews
