Leave your thoughts about Lock Up.
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfDirector John Flynn keeps it all in check and creates a believable prison community, but the screenplay insists on cliché and idiocy to get by. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumFor torture and violence freaks, every clank and thud is duly and hyperbolically registered. |
| EmpireTom TunneyA hard-boiled version of Rocky, with enough anti-Balboa brutality to keep our interest. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonThe film is a sort of prison fantasy, in which all the most popular boys in the cellblock have a high time together, smoking cigarettes, working on cars and spraying each other with paint guns...All the while you're thinking, "What is this, ancient Greece?" |
| Washington PostDesson HowePut the whole movie down to cartoonery...This is a drive-in theater battle of wills between the forces of evil and the forces of good. |
| 7M PicturesKevin Carrhas more in common with the litany of weak films from the 90s than with his powerful flicks |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe summer of 1989 was the summer of Batman, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Lethal Weapon 2 and several other sizable hits, so who in their right mind wanted to waste time and money on a generic Stallone prison flick? |
| User ReviewHisham BOne of my all time favotites. Especially that football scene.another awesome performance by Sylvester Stallone. |
| User Reviewcommander AThis was an wonderful film which made me a cry a bit but i loved the story line and even they all acted as into a family kinda relation inside the jail but there r villains its normal and i loved the action and the reactions of sylvester stallone... i was amazed how i haven't watched this wonderful film a very long time... i liked this story line and yet this story was such a good movie came through and also at the last scene it touched me a lot... i liked this movie and i bet this movie is a time worth for u a lot entertainer from this movie... No wrong to give 5stars full for this movie... I like this movie... |
| User ReviewUmit SOne of my all time Sly vavs. This is one of those movies that you sit there and say what else could they possibly do to him. Donald Suterland is great as the nasty warden. |
