Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Taylor Kingston I really enjoy this movie. I think even thirty years later, this movie still holds up. It's another great Stallone movie and it's very entertaining and enjoyable to watch.In this movie, Frank Leone is nearing the end of his prison sentence for a relatively minor crime. But just before he is paroled, Frank gets transferred from his minimum security prison to a maximum security prison, Warden Drumgoole takes charge. The Warden was assigned to control this hell-hole prison because of Frank's and thinks that now he should pay. He is determined to make Frank's life miserable for as long as possible. Overall, I give this movie a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.

Gavan Lock up is the type of action that will make you go "Wow, this is very different, and I love it."the movie is about Frank Leone who is not only a good mechanic, but also has to finish some time. When transferred, he meets a corrupt warden who puts Frank through hell and now he must get his revenge on the warden before he ends up dead. There's so much to say about this movie and sucks this movie is in another movie in the underrated Stallone list, and it just shows once again that critics really don't know what they are talking about and should just leave it to people who are not a bunch of rich snobs who have no life like Leonard Maltin and the razzies. God I HATE the razzies, just wished they blew up, you know.

utgard14 Sylvester Stallone plays a mechanic serving time in a minimum-security prison. He's been a model prisoner, liked by everybody, and even allowed to leave the prison on furlough. One night he's awakened in his bed by armed guards and forcibly taken to a maximum security prison, headed by a sadistic warden (Donald Sutherland) with an ax to grind with Sly. He's told he will have to serve out the remainder of his sentence there and Sutherland makes it clear life will be hell for him.Sly's terrific. He's always been an underrated actor. Sutherland, as he often does, overacts and uses at least three different accents before settling on one. Since Sutherland is hardly a physical threat to Stallone, they added Sonny Landham as the tough-ass prisoner who torments our hero. Tom Sizemore is a snitch. John Amos plays a guard who seems bad but turns out to be okay. My favorite character was probably Frank McRae as a huge prisoner who comes to Sly's aid ("F train, son. F train.").What would an '80s Stallone movie be without a montage? There's a fun one here as Sly bonds with his fellow cons restoring an old car. Despite being a prison flick, it's not really like the exploitation prison movies of the '70s and early '80s. Implausible to the extreme but also entertaining.

julesdil Great prison drama with an friendship theme if you want to know it is about a man who gets put into prison when a bully gives him crap that involves a great ending , dialouge is good but the acting gets cheesy in places but it is a fun film that you can enjoy like i say great sound and visceral, this is a better Stallone film. 7.0 out of 10.0 good / excellent entertainment , lacks with brilliance and is dull in moments. Stallone has done way better but this you can like i was surprised to see a great drama Stallone rules.Don't expect brilliant expect character depth and friendship elements.Any way buy this its very well made and is very good to watch as it is great.
