Reviews for Lockdown
Despite a low budget and predictable story line, Lockdown has undeniable power to it, fired by some fine performances and a terrifying portrayal of prison life that rings disturbingly true.
Doesn't tell you much about prison life that the movies ... haven't told you already.
Benefits from authenticity, sincerity and an honest sense of outrage.
Though over-the-top and simplistic, the film has a punchy B-movie grit and gusto.
