Critics Consensus

Unlocked strands an all-star cast in a spy thriller whose embrace of old-school formula might be refreshing if it weren't bogged down in genre clichés and a predictable plot.

April Wolfe

Village Voice

[Unlocked] is staid and formulaic, though well-executed.

It would be a welcome treat to watch the Alice Racine chronicles, as she travels around Europe taking out terrorist cells with her combination of interrogation and combat skills.

Observer

When it mercifully ends after 98 excruciating minutes, you still don't have a clue what it was all about.

The film is made less awful, bordering into watchable, thanks solely to it's cast -- though they admittedly mostly phone in their performances.

Spectrum Culture

A fruitful exercise in genre, the sort of flick that might have a healthy shelf life on Netflix.

Female Jason Bourne movie. Good cast, but the movie doesn't live up to its potential. The plot is good in the first half, but unfortunately very predictable in the second.

started out fast and smart.. quickly deteriorates into mush.. first she's resourceful enough to outsmart the baddies.. next she's an idiot and should be dead.. everyone else is both inept and stupid.. no.. simply yelling at people to GO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO doesn't make you smart or a good leader and that seems all the CIA leadership can do.. the British are just as stupid.. I'm surprised anyone could walk and talk at the same time.. maybe they couldn't.. I seem to remember they all sat a lot of the time.. and by the end of the movie I was hoping Noomi Rapace aka 'Wonder Woman' would be killed along with everyone else in the cast. Worthless trash.. belongs in the toilet. I've already wasted my time, hopefully you won't make the same mistake.

A god-awful script being not only predictable and cliché but also boring and borderline laughable. Only the cast makes this worth a star.
