Making Locked Down a heist movie in the middle of a quarantine gives us, the viewer, a break from the endless cycle that we’re stuck in. This is a heist movie! And like you, that caught our attention and sealed the deal when it comes to watching this movie when it premieres on HBO Max on January 14th. This isn’t just a drama movie about a couple on the brink of separating. Then, we hit the halfway point of the trailer, and things take an unexpected but welcome turn. The last thing we want is another movie that shows us how sad and repetitive our lives have become. We’re all stuck in a mandatory lockdown on various degrees and levels, and co-habitation has become a bigger part of all of our lives, whether we’re back home or living with our partners/roommates. Co-habitation is proving to be a challenge, but fueled by poetry and copious amounts of wine, it will bring them closer together in the most surprising way.Īt first glance, this synopsis and the first half of the trailer seem … well, bland. Just as they decide to separate, Linda ( Anne Hathaway) and Paxton ( Chiwetel Ejiofor) find life has other plans when they are stuck at home in a mandatory lockdown.

Instead, it acknowledges the reality we’re in and the struggles we’re facing, and it gives us a respite from it all without being doom and gloom. Because unlike Michael Bay’s Songbird, which premiered to scathing reviews, this movie doesn’t exploit the pandemic that we’re stuck in. The official trailer for the upcoming HBO Max crime comedy Locked Down dropped, and we are here for this quarantine-themed movie.
