Locked

i mean sure. why not. this was not great but not bad— very inoffensive, just boring. the twists are boring and very predictable. feels like we need to move out of the awareness stage when it comes to systemic oppression but maybe i wasn’t the target audience.

The older Anthony Hopkins gets, the more I feel from his performances, and it's not just sympathy but also his filmography. He usually plays characters that hold a lot of disregarded power, whether it is visible or veiled, like their intent. His acting is suspenseful, although not always full of story. Skarsgård's character, on the other hand, has just enough depth, and he plays it intensely as always. Overall, the production, score, story, and insight into politics and morals make for a decent single viewing, but I don't think it goes beyond that.

glad that old prick died

there was a certain grasp about how they filmed the entirety of it, without talking about the fact that they let us -me, side with a robber instead of the robbed. but the movie deserves more attention and watchers than it has reached.

Very surface-level and mediocre story. Just an expensive cast duo really. Hopkins is so peak though.

5.8/10
