Avery had a promising future. But a night out with his buddies turned into a case of mistaken identity. Now, he's behind bars, doing time for a crime he didn't commit. And in prison, there's a whole new set of rules. Starring: Master P (Rapper), Richard T. Jones (Phone Booth, Moonlight Mile), Gabriel Casseus (Black Hawk Down, 15 Minutes).
I love this movie and I'm a huge Master P fan. The cool thing about this movie is that my brother and his friends love it and always ask to borrow it to show their friends the movie and they all hate rap and can't stand Master P, so that alone proves this movie is a classic. Great production and great story line, all around great movie!
October 13, 2007A friend told me about Lock Down years ago, but I never wanted to see it because of the contents that were described in it. Last night I decided to check it out and I have to say this movie is VERY disturbing. It was heartbreaking to watch a man have his manhood snatched away the way D'aundre Bonds did. It's already sad enough that many men are gay or are on the down low, let alone knowing that if he goes to prison and is not up on game the moment he steps into his cell, he can be taken just like that. There weren't any happy moments in this movie,and I couldn't believe the impact that it had on me my mood. I went from cool and calm to anger and depression. watching the way Avery and D'aundra went down all because of their "boy" reminded me of why I try to be careful of the company that I keep. This movie is no joke, I'm glad I finally sat down and watched it but apart of me wishes that I hadn't. This movie will NOT be on my list of must haves.

May 2, 2007This movie made me physically ill. Seriously, I felt like puking. Then again, what can you expect from a prison drama. This movie is definitely not easy to watch, and it's definitely not for someone squeamish or overly sensitive. Frankly, this is one of the most depressing movies of all time (as with most prison dramas). It's extremely rare to find any of them that end on a good note. I mean, they all pretty much end in death, destruction, rioting, and murder by shankings. With that being said, I've definitely seen worse. For those viewers who haven't heard "American Me" with Edward James Olmos is 10 times worse with the graphic scenes. There's also "Blood In Blood Out/Bound By Honor" which is closely related to "American Me" and that's also pretty graphic. Of course, that's an opinion though. I also find it very strange that hetrosexual men no longer think that sex with another man is so nasty once they go to prison. Then again, I guess that brings us back to rape being about power, and not about sexual pleasure. Personally, I think these people who get off on this are sick monsters who should be put to sleep like rabid bloodthirsty cannines. I think this movie just goes to show that a person can think their the toughest person in the world, but you never know how tough you really are until your manhood gets tested by someone tougher than you are, and how weakness is taken advantage of.
April 3, 2007This film comes up short in casting, believability, editing (it's too long) and resolution. It's a story that's been done repeatedly, and follows every possible stereotype. Even Richard T. Jones can't carry this movie.
Black man and friends (one "good," one "bad") wrongfully accused of murder and sent to a maximum security prison where... every possible prison storyline happens. Without much feeling or anything much to be interested in.
It's predictable, poorly paced, and ends with a dull thud of staged and fake feeling redemption. I'd avoid this; there are certainly much better prison movies than this.
