Review of Lock Up (1989) by Corey N — 24 Jun 2007
After his action overload of the eighties, Stallone goes for a dark thriller in this excellent movie. he is great as the lead and Sutherland gives a very ruthless performance as the warden.
The film style is gritty, the soundtrack by Conti is remarkable, and the story goes along nicely.
The only other thing that could have gave this movie a little more gravitas, was to include more time for the back story between Leone and the warden. Sonny Landham is really here to play the token bad guy and isn't really in it for long, but if you like films like an innocent man or in hell, then you will enjoy this movie.
