[Unlocked] is staid and formulaic, though well-executed.

It would be a welcome treat to watch the Alice Racine chronicles, as she travels around Europe taking out terrorist cells with her combination of interrogation and combat skills.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 8, 2017

When it mercifully ends after 98 excruciating minutes, you still don't have a clue what it was all about.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 1, 2017

... while far from the sharpest cerebral spy thriller I've ever seen, it's safe to say still I enjoyed watching things play themselves out to conclusion, this journey behind the espionage looking glass one I'm glad I took.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 1, 2017

Noomi Rapace's CIA agent character is clearly being positioned as a distaff Jason Bourne. The movie demonstrates that's easier said than done.

| Original Score: C | Sep 1, 2017

Neither good enough to justify the talents on display nor bad enough to at least make it perversely memorable.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 1, 2017

A straight-ahead political thriller that fails to ratchet up the requisite tension despite its timely subject matter and (largely) effective cast.

I suppose this went down easily enough for me because I grew up with this kind of stuff, and can surrender to it as a kind of cinematic comfort food. But still.

| Aug 31, 2017

The movie becomes a relentless series of fake-outs and reversals, as if half a season of 24 had been compressed into under two hours.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 31, 2017

Unlocked feels like a 1970s-style conspiracy thriller, which makes it a perfect fit for the 76-year-old Apted, whose wonderfully varied career includes the James Bond flick, The World Is Not Enough.

| Aug 30, 2017

Unlocked has got all the cliches you need and want.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 30, 2017

With its dull mixture of indifferently staged exposition and action, it suggests a primitive side-scrolling video game.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 28, 2017

Islamic State, MI5, a deadly virus and a neck-tattooed Orlando Bloom: screenwriter Peter O'Brien throws everything at the wall in this derivative thriller. Nothing sticks.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 7, 2017

Michael Apted's efficient but unstylish film has only a prestigious cast of supporting slummers - Michael Douglas, Toni Collette, John Malkovich - to distinguish it from a "Spooks"-style 온라인카지노추천 outing.

| May 5, 2017

It doesn't break much in the way of new ground, but that isn't exactly the point - it rattles along and Apted tackles it with gusto.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 5, 2017

The threat of a biological attack on London by Islamic terrorists has been transformed into a supremely duff movie by the combined talents of Noomi Rapace, Orlando Bloom and director Michael Apted.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 5, 2017

Apted ... brings nothing fresh to the formula besides the minor innovation of dropping an action heroine into a male-dominated field.

| May 4, 2017

Spies, terrorists, remote-controlled bombs... Unlocked's components are all too familiar, and it doesn't put nearly enough effort into making them feel fresh.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 4, 2017

The film's attempt to combine mainstream action and timely social realism results in the kind of sticky mess that should have been easily avoided.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 4, 2017

It is, as usual, kinder not to mention the involvement of Orlando Bloom.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 4, 2017
