This simplistically dreary offering doesn’t crack a new code.

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.

Rated: 1.5/5

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.

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.

Rated: 3/4

As Na-mi, Chun has to shoulder that suspense, and although her character outwits all the men in the movie, we aren't given a lot of detail about what makes her tick.

Rated: 3/5

This was an ok thriller. It had a pretty good premise, but it didn't really take it anywhere interesting.

A frustrating and idiotic plot. Bland and senseless characters. Do not leave your brain unlocked while watching this.

I thought it was a good movie most of the way through, but the cops get kind of dumb at the end and that let me down a bit. Good performances from Im Si-Wan and particularly Chun Woo;Hee though.
