Benjamin Lee Guardian Aping the format and tease of a novel that you just can’t bear to put down, Locked In is instead a film you wish you would have stopped far earlier. Rated: 2/5 Nov 1, 2023 Full Review M.N. Miller Geek Vibes Nation Locked In is exactly what you think it's going to be. The plot is contrived. Predictably, the dialogue is eye-rolling, and the character behaviors are over-the-top. This erotic thriller could ruin your Netflix and chill. Rated: 3/10 Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Locked In is heavy on plot and light on character, the kind of movie designed to shuttle you from beginning to end before you notice how bored you are. Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media There are elements of gothic fairytale, psychological horror, and illicit revenge thriller, but Locked In ultimately feels like it could have had its tone a little better locked down. Rated: 3/5 Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Lori C. Ready Steady Cut Locked In is the type of made-for-TV thriller you’d expect to catch on Lifetime on a Friday night. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Rated: 3/5 Nov 2, 2023 Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies Locked In is yet another bland-as-hell Netflix thriller. Rated: 1/5 Nov 1, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Kara C The film itself is shot beautifully and the acting isn't awful - fundametally, the plot brought the film down. It started off rather promisingly however started to decline midway through with twists contradicting each other. Ultimately, this left you feeling a bit confused and underwhelmed by the ending. With that being said, the film kept me gripped and it was an easy one to watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/24 Full Review Aløngjr555 J **The Anatomy of a Good Movie** Movies, as a form of art and entertainment, have the remarkable ability to captivate audiences, evoke emotions, and leave a lasting impression. While personal tastes may vary, there are certain qualities that contribute to the greatness of a film. A good movie is more than just a sequence of moving images; it is a carefully crafted work of storytelling, cinematography, and performance that resonates with its audience on multiple levels. First and foremost, a good movie has a compelling narrative. Whether it's a gripping thriller, an epic adventure, or a heartfelt drama, the story serves as the foundation upon which everything else is built. A well-written screenplay keeps viewers engaged from beginning to end, with well-developed characters, intriguing plot twists, and meaningful themes that provoke thought and discussion. In addition to a strong story, the visual elements of a movie are equally important. Cinematography plays a crucial role in creating the mood and atmosphere of a film, using lighting, framing, and camera movement to enhance the storytelling. From sweeping landscapes to intimate close-ups, every shot is carefully composed to evoke emotion and convey meaning. Moreover, a good movie is brought to life by talented actors who embody their characters with authenticity and depth. A convincing performance can elevate even the most ordinary of scenes, drawing viewers into the world of the film and making them care about the fate of its protagonists. Whether it's a seasoned veteran or a newcomer making their debut, the actors' dedication to their craft shines through, leaving a lasting impression on audiences. Furthermore, the audio aspects of a film, including the score and sound design, contribute significantly to its impact. A memorable soundtrack sets the tone for key moments, heightening tension, stirring emotions, or providing moments of levity. Meanwhile, meticulous sound design immerses viewers in the world of the film, whether it's the roar of an explosion, the whisper of wind through trees, or the subtle rustle of clothing. Lastly, a good movie leaves a lasting impression, lingering in the minds of its audience long after the credits have rolled. Whether it's a thought-provoking message, a breathtaking visual spectacle, or a poignant emotional moment, the best films stay with us, shaping our perceptions and enriching our lives in ways both big and small. In conclusion, a good movie is a multi-faceted work of art that excels in storytelling, cinematography, performance, and audio design. It engages audiences on an emotional and intellectual level, leaving a lasting impact that transcends the boundaries of time and space. From the classics of Hollywood's golden age to the latest blockbusters of today, the power of cinema to entertain, inspire, and move us remains as potent as ever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Annett M It's a pretty boring movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Audience Member Very predictable. Ending is meh. Sorry Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Danielle L I actually liked it. I was interesting to me and kept my attention. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Audience Member It wasn't bad, a bit predictable but Alex Hassell with glasses is hot as hell so whatever.
