Locked

6.5/10 - Locked is a simple survival story about a down-on-his-luck loser type (Bill Skarsgård) who gets locked in a vehicle he's attempting to steal from. This begins his nightmare of being held captive via remote control by the owner of the vehicle (Anthony Hopkins). As time drags by, the situation escalates from verbal arguments between them through the speaker system, to the routine torture of the captive in the vehicle, and finally culminates in a face-to-face showdown that leads to the climax of the story. Locked is an American remake of the Argentinian film "4x4" - which I intended to watch but never did. I would be curious to check the original out sometime to see how it compares to this remake, which was enjoyable enough for what it was. Nothing groundbreaking, but entertaining enough to not feel like my time was wasted. Video review will be available on my channel.
