Locked In Plot Review:
Firstly, Locked In Netflix locks some secrets, and these secrets can be devastating. This crime thriller, directed by Nour Wazzi and written by Rowan Joffe, opens up with a patient in a coma. And the story is built around how she ended up here. It is revealed that Katherine met an almost fatal accident. However, this accident turns out to be a murder.
Nour Wazzi has something very different for all the horror genre fans as she brings up the new plot. A plot that shows all its characters in some kind of psychological prison. The protagonist, Katherine, is Locked In 2023 a prison of vanity and self-doubt. She thinks that her empathy has resulted in her destruction.
She has an adopted daughter, Lina, who married Jamie. Lina is also locked in her mental prison of self-doubt and dependence on her relationships. Here comes a third wheel named Doctor Lawrence, and the cycle of love and betrayal starts.
The story starts in a hospital, and we meet a nurse, Nicky Mackenzie, who is investigating the truth behind Katherine’s murder. As Lina is the narrator, she speaks not the truth but only that much that keeps her from becoming a suspect.
The plot has all the turns and twists of a gothic, thriller but the story comes out to be cliche, disappointing the audience. And the audience does feel Locked In 2023 in a cliche plot.
Rating:
The IMDB has given just a 5.1 rating and 2624 popularity with a downtrend. Moreover, Entertainment Time has given a 2.5 rating out of 5. Which is not enough to recommend. But anyone who likes to watch the old classic storyline can watch this one.
People had high hopes for this movie, after watching the trailer. And 8.2k Netflix added this to their watch list. Nevertheless, it is just a one-time watch. Moreover, the plot doesn’t justify the highly skilled cast.
