I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Entertaining several twists. Female lead is a bit of prodigy like the main character in "Covert Action". Some differences, i.e. is already in field, no mention of personal history on the main character, except that she is depressed by inability to stop a bombing in time, and how she came to be sourced by CIA. Character development could be better. More flashbacks, fleshing out would have been good for identifying with characters. Follow up (what outcome) on some of the supporting cast would be nice as well. I'd like to see this arrangement again though in sequel - think it could do well.
A CIA interrogator is lured into a ruse that puts London at risk of a biological attack. Noomi Rapace fails to be believable as a CIA interrogator, Michael Douglas was there for the Cash and Orlando Bloom should stick on making POTC Movies or LOTR Prequels. Unlocked is a terrible action film from start to finish. (0/10)
Somebody wanted to create a female Bourne which is an admirable goal, but sadly that's as far as their imagination went. The narrative and characters rely too much on a whole host of predictable tropes and cliches. I don't regret watching it, but there's really nothing to recommend it either.
No rocket science, just good ol plain and simple riveting entertainment, loads of action and tension with good and convincing performances by Naomi Rapace, Orlando Bloom and Michael Douglas. I shall not elaborate on the plot or action to avoid spoiling it for you, watch it, you shall not be disappointed.
