Lock Up (1989)

Simply A Masterpiece

Great Film overall

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This film has like the best opening theme in a movie ever the music in here is so touching and sad that might even make you shed a tear. Can we also please accept what an amazing actor Donald Sutherland is? The dude plays the villain so well down just like he did in The Hunger Games Saga that you really want him to die although we never get that satisfaction here but we did get it in Mockingjay Part 2 anyways if you see the behind the scenes video of this film is truly great and you will see that Sonny Landham is actually not that great into filming fight scenes you will understand if you buy the DVD. Lock Up is a touching, funny but also good action movie from start to finish and Stallone gives his best!!!

I really enjoy this movie. I think even thirty years later, this movie still holds up. It's another great Stallone movie and it's very entertaining and enjoyable to watch.In this movie, Frank Leone is nearing the end of his prison sentence for a relatively minor crime. But just before he is paroled, Frank gets transferred from his minimum security prison to a maximum security prison, Warden Drumgoole takes charge. The Warden was assigned to control this hell-hole prison because of Frank's and thinks that now he should pay. He is determined to make Frank's life miserable for as long as possible. Overall, I give this movie a 7 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Great.

an action film. one who can be a surprise for many viewers. and a Stallone performance who can change many old verdicts about him. short - a place. an its rules. a fight with many arms.a splendid character by Donald Sutherland and an interesting mixture of emotion, action scenes, lesson about life purpose. far to be sentimental, with maybe one memorable scene, maybe not remarkable - it is not Rambo or a classic - but different by a lot of films from same genre. and that is its basic, fundamental virtue - the desire to create a simple story , heroic and touching, who gives chance to discover few not bad characters . a decent film. far to classic recipes of genre.

Great prison drama with an friendship theme if you want to know it is about a man who gets put into prison when a bully gives him crap that involves a great ending , dialouge is good but the acting gets cheesy in places but it is a fun film that you can enjoy like i say great sound and visceral, this is a better Stallone film. 7.0 out of 10.0 good / excellent entertainment , lacks with brilliance and is dull in moments. Stallone has done way better but this you can like i was surprised to see a great drama Stallone rules.Don't expect brilliant expect character depth and friendship elements.Any way buy this its very well made and is very good to watch as it is great.
