Review of Unlocked

Unlocked (I) (2017)
2/10
Borne for Dummies

This movie is generic and sin and has nothing going for it. The acting ranges from bland to passable, everything else sucks. Most noteabley the direction and editing.

The direction has no substance or style to it, the movie looks like a generic medicine commerical.

The editing is poor, especially during the action scenes. Is it as bad as Taken 2/3 or Catwoman? No. But it's on par with other generic Borne rip offs where the cutting is too quick and cutting to the same subject when it's needless.

There's a scene where the main woman sheilds a guy then escorts him out of a door, and it cuts three times in a second (all cuts focus on the main woman).

Another weird choice involves a brief flash back to "Paris 2012" while the main woman punches a punching bag. During the flash back text saying, "Paris 2012" appears. But 5 minutes later when the CIA are talking about our main hero, they mention she helped during the Paris 2012 terror attack. The redundant information is both needless and confusing.

This is pretty bad and generic, skip it.
