Robert Daniels New York Times 02/17/2023
This simplistically dreary offering doesn’t crack a new code. Go to Full Review Srijoni Rudra Digital Mafia Talkies Aug 23
“Unlocked” did not unlock its full potential; the film tried too hard not to be predictable and, in the meantime, forgot to focus on the characters, who deserved to be more than just ways to help the story proceed. Go to Full Review Justin Kim Loud and Clear Reviews Jan 6
3/5
A relevant and relatable premise, good acting, and some chilling scenes aren’t enough to cover up Netflix’s Unlocked’s noticeable plot holes. Go to Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com 07/08/2024
1.5/5
Unlocked is a conviniently created thriller that leaves nothing to the imagination and squanders all of the opportunities that could've made it remotely interesting. Go to Full Review Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan (Medium) 09/08/2023
Unlocked doesn’t bring any new ideas to the dangers of digital surveillance. Instead, the movie loses focus on the character’s journey and the narrative, which fails to mesh them all together at the end. Go to Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim (Substack) 07/28/2023
3/4
With "Unlocked" and "Emergency Declaration" — another 2022 film where Im Si-wan played the maniacal villain — Im has proven himself as a talented actor who can convincingly play any role. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mzz T @Mzz_Tea Nov 18 We all know the dangers of technology these days so this type of plot has been explored before. The storyline was good with decent pacing, however, I did find a few plotholes which could have been fleshed out more. The characters were good and the actors played them well. Especially the villain, played by Im Si Wan. He's brilliant at switching from a seemingly nice guy to the psychopath. It's a shame the momentum of Unlocked came undone because it could have been better. Still a decent watch. See more Agent L Apr 3 It really is an amazing movie and sends chills down your spine making you paranoid as well im si wan was an amazing actor as always tho i dont think physcopathic roles suit his innocence features and i think what lead to jung young doing this wasnt explained neither how and why he took the name of jinmans son See more Apr 1 It was really good, loved that the phone felt like another character, makes you think more about were you leave it and all the dangers See more Kenneth L 11/03/2024 This was an ok thriller. It had a pretty good premise, but it didn't really take it anywhere interesting. See more Leonardo M 08/11/2024 absolutely cero creativity. one in a million stalker movie and couldn't pick a less intimidating and untalented character to play the evil guy. See more Fade 05/08/2024 A frustrating and idiotic plot. Bland and senseless characters. Do not leave your brain unlocked while watching this. See more Read all reviews
