	Prairie Miller	Lockdown makes that excruciating and often terrifying ordeal of incarceration gut wrenching and palpable. Full Review \| Comment \| Feb., 17 2003 05:19 PM	Long Island Press
3/5	Ken Fox	[A] modest yet intermittently powerful film. Full Review \| Comment \| Feb., 14 2003 04:43 PM	TV Guide's Movie Guide
C+	Tom Long	Despite a low budget and predictable story line, Lockdown has undeniable power to it, fired by some fine performances and a terrifying portrayal of prison life that rings disturbingly true. Full Review \| Comment \| Feb., 14 2003 04:38 PM	Detroit News
	Desson Thomson	Doesn't tell you much about prison life that the movies ... haven't told you already. Full Review \| Comment \| Feb., 14 2003 08:28 AM	Washington Post
	Stephen Hunter	What makes the movie memorable is its authenticity. Full Review \| Comment \| Feb., 14 2003 08:28 AM	Washington Post
3/4	Terry Lawson	Benefits from authenticity, sincerity and an honest sense of outrage. Full Review \| Comment \| Feb., 14 2003 08:28 AM	Detroit Free Press
	Cynthia Fuchs	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).

B-	Steve Murray	Though over-the-top and simplistic, the film has a punchy B-movie grit and gusto. Full Review \| Comment \| Feb., 13 2003 01:06 PM	Atlanta Journal-Constitution
2.5/4	Michael Dequina	Here's hoping Richard T. Jones will get a chance to display his chops in a real movie sometime. Full Review \| Comment \| Jan., 03 2003 08:32 AM	TheMovieReport.com
