Melodramatic and sincere, Lockdown shows the penal system's corruptions sensationally, in ways that distinguish it from sensational prison flicks like Seagal's trippy Half Past Dead (2002) or Stallone's histrionic Lock Up (1989).

[A] modest yet intermittently powerful film.

Benefits from authenticity, sincerity and an honest sense of outrage.
