Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Steineded How sad is this?
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Hang_All_Drunkdrivers I've always felt "Escape from Alcatraz" starring Mister Eastwood was the best PM ever made but this one is just as good though a much different story. Some black dudes in their early 20s are convicted of a crime even though only one of them did anything wrong. Anyway, they get sent up for 10 years or so and the movie follows their experiences. Lots of fighting and action and, bless his soul, the director allows no talk unless it pertains to the action. Solid ending.Lots of anti-white racism in the movie. The guards are all white and they are bastards and the white inmates are monsters. Graffiti, played by David Fralick, is really bad. Good-looking, super-fit guy and vicious as they come.Needless to say, the movie portrays prison life as ultra-violent but that's just Hollywood for you. It makes for a good movie but prison is mostly about boredom not violence. Hell - you've got guards and cameras everywhere; you can't get away with much in prison and real convicts know it.
twilsonr This film was so predictable that it almost scared me into thinking that I had become a psychic! I had to think about something, because there certainly was nothing in the film worth any brain cells. I think a group of amateur drama students in a high school could do a better job, if only having watched a few episodes of HBO's "OZ"!
aflikdareddude If you like 'Oz' you'll enjoy this movie.Predominately a African American cast,this is one of those movies white america will not embrace,and because of that it will get undeserved negative criticism.If you've been behind bars,you will relate and love this movie more than the average person.But even if you haven't been in the pen,this flic is entertaining with some real scenes that depict life when your freedom is taken away. ****/5.
George Parker "Lockdown" is a pathetic attempt at film making with a litany of deficits too long for this forum. The film fails in everything from over-acting to silly stereotypically characters to awful directing to....etc. Not recommendable for anyone for any reason. (D)
