Blah - Locked Down review by JJ
I wonder if Covid-19 has wrought anything more terrible than this rubbish on an already suffering humanity? My only other thought is that if they make a sequel they should call it instead a variant. Doug Liman's made some good stuff in the past. I wonder what made him think he could make this script into a good picture?

Disappointing RomCom - Locked Down review by GI
For about two thirds this film is a funny romcom that utilises the Covid 19 UK Lockdown restrictions to look at a relationship that is exposed by the couple trapped together. Their already struggling bond fracturing more and more and Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Linda, a bored but successful executive, and Paxton, a delivery driver trapped in a lowly job due to a criminal conviction and now furloughed, bicker and snipe at one another. Whilst the script is occasionally clunky it is amusing and has a couple of funny cameos from Ben Stiller and Ben Kingsley who appear on 'zoom' meetings. Then the film veers off into a stupid heist comedy as the couple hatch a plan to steal a diamond from Harrods. This part of the film ruins it, it's not a dead loss but it smacks of a film made on the hoof without proper planning because without that this might've been an interesting romcom set in the lockdown. It's watchable but nothing here is as good as it could have been.
