Here's hoping Richard T. Jones will get a chance to display his chops in a real movie sometime.

Melodramatic and sincere, Lockdown shows the penal system's corruptions sensationally, in ways that distinguish it from sensational prison flicks like Seagal's trippy Half Past Dead (2002) or Stallone's histrionic Lock Up (1989).

What makes the movie memorable is its authenticity.
