'Locked' Review: It's Hell on Wheels for Bill Skarsgård
Sam Raimi produces and Anthony Hopkins co-stars in this occasionally effective B-movie about a petty thug trapped inside a luxury SUV

Given how blatantly transparent it has become in recent months that the rich dictate, often without thought or mercy, the fate of the poor, Locked would seem to be in a perfect position to rile up the 99% and grab some free op-ed space. Unfortunately, it's not quite ambitious enough nor insightful enough for that. The film, about a petty thug who breaks into a luxury SUV only to find it’s been booby-trapped by an unseen and obscenely wealthy tormentor, is a B-movie more interested in torturing its main character than inspiring the hoi polloi to march in the streets. But with a few decent tricks up its tailpipe, the latest from Brightburn director David Yarovesky sputters to a tattered and bloody checkered flag.
