Based on Argentina movie 4 x 4, locked Stars Bill Skarsgard, Eddie, who struggles for the end of the divorced father. After visiting the school with his daughter Sarah (Ashley Cartwright), he needs $ 475 to repair his minibus.

Eddie begging rapidly welcoming, friends and lottery scratch tickets. He resorts to enter a SUV and somehow locked inside.

William (Anthony Hopkins) searches Eddie from the electronic system of the car, after learning that someone else is in someone else’s vehicle and that Eddie prefers to keep a prisoner.

The car, a fictional brand named Dull, is a little more curious than real world cars to do this pioneering work. Even, even Tesla Cybertrucks Have bullet -proof windows.

Features create a fun movie trap. Dolus prevents Eddie’s mobile phone signal and has sound -proof and colorful windows and cuts it out of everyone outside.

William uses the special features of the car to torture Eddie, including the Tashers in the seats. When William tries to escape, Eddie can combine the temperature, sound system and injuries of the temperature, pushing and pulling the captive in all directions. Eddie is not completely passive, William tries to get an advantage when she doesn’t watch her.

We’ve traded as much as the idea of ​​punishing a car thief, Locked He must consider the extremities of William’s methods and the resources allocated to them. This description proves to be a bit simple.

The film also simplifies some of Eddie and William’s debate on crime and reserve. There is a valid argument about helplessness that guides people to take criminal actions to survive, but this is really not. Locked to go.

While Eddie reads the familiar conversation points about it is fraudulent to allow 1% of the system to maintain their reserves, the other 99% salary withdrawal salary withdrawal. It is not wrong, but it is not incredible that a desperate person expresses the same arguments as political advocates.

But at a pure narrative level, Locked It moves the thriller movie. Hopkins also appears in the film, so it’s not completely voice -over performance.

Comprehensive, Locked Skarsgard and Hopkins – two fear titans from different generations – worth seeing. Pennywise and Hannibal are not Lecter, but not a boring 90 -minute thriller.
