Locked Down

"The new coronavirus pandemic has caused profound changes in social behavior throughout its course, between 2020 and 2021, with direct effects on relationships, families and work relationships -- in addition to the effects of tragic deaths during this period. Filmmaker Doug Liman, of 'Edge of Tomorrow' and 'The Bourne Identity', decided to take a different look at this social isolation and social changes in 'Locked Down': from an action movie, focusing on a robbery. In the plot, the viewer is introduced to the story of Linda and Paxton (Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor), who used to have a great relationship. However, with the marriage crumbling, they are forced to stay in the same house in the middle of the covid-19 quarantine. Together, they devise a robbery that may, or may not, save the relationship. Liman's direction to tell this story is a bit confusing and tedious at times -- it's understandable who can't get to the end. However, there is good chemistry between Hathaway and Ejiofor, unlike 'Malcolm & Marie', which also bet on an intimate plot, in the middle of the quarantine, to talk about a couple. It's a strange movie, even clumsy, but it brings a different look to this strange and troubled period in world history. Just turn off your mind and enjoy."
