Total: 5.75/10.
Anthology films are like a box of chocolates; you never quite know what you're gonna get. "Locker 13" from 2014 is no exception to this cinematic roulette, but it's a box of chocolates you'd be thrilled to dive into.
The movie serves up a mixture of stories as diverse as a Tinder date menu - some are great, some are decent, and a couple are about as obscure as Bigfoot's shoe size. But it's the first and last stories that steal the spotlight. If this were a talent show, they'd walk away with the golden buzzer.
The direction in this film is as sharp as a tailor's needle, and I have to give props to the director of the boxing story - it's like watching a boxing match with your eyes closed and oddly thrilling! The final tale, confined to a single room, keeps you glued to the screen with its captivating storytelling and a twist ending as predictable as your grandma's meatloaf recipe.
But what genuinely surprised me is the stellar cast - I mean, who knew Ricky Schroder was still in the game? He shines as the boxing killer, proving he's not a Silver Spoon anymore. All the performers bring their A-game, and it's like watching a relay race where the baton of talent is passed with precision.
Now, I never sugarcoat shortcomings; there's one story that's a bit of a snoozer, but hey, even the best roller coasters have a slow part, giving you the perfect opportunity to grab a coffee or answer nature's call. But don't worry, the film picks up right where it left off.
In conclusion, "Locker 13" is worth a watch, whether you're in the mood for a movie night on a cold winter evening or merely looking for a fun diversion. It's a well-crafted anthology that's entertaining from start to finish, and you'll crave more incredible stories. So, grab your popcorn, settle down, and heartily enjoy.
