Reviews:

“Frank” (Sylvester Stallone) has only six months left on his prison sentence when he is put into the care of warden “Dromgoole” (Donald Sutherland) – a man who loathes him. Over the course of the film we learn just why as he ensures that that “Frank” is victimised, attacked, goaded and constantly provoked. Can this determined prisoner find the mettle to resist the temptation to fight back against his persecutor, and can he manage to find a way to illustrate just how devious and brutal this man is to the authorities? This is a well paced and fairly action-packed prison drama with Sutherland in quite good, menacing, form. It also benefits from a reasonable supporting cast with Sonny Landham (“Chink”), Tom Sizemore (“Dallas”) and the young Larry Romano (“First Base”) all delivering strongly as the warden decides to attack those close to “Frank” to push him ever closer to the edge. There’s not really much jeopardy though, the narrative is pretty procedural and Stallone does enough, but no more, with the rather mundane dialogue that doesn’t really add much to the simple visuals that are effective at times, but again – we have seen it all before. Stallone put so much of himself into his “Rocky” persona, unfortunately he has little left to inject into this and I found it all just a bit dull.

My roommate and I were on a Stallone kick recently, but we never got around to watching _Lock Up_ because we were looking for some hard (see: over-the-top) action, and this sounded more like a wistful drama. Eventually though, _Lock Up_ came due, and I… actually kind of loved it? It’s about as cheesy I had feared, but I what never occurred to me is that that cheese would totally work. I mean, it’s not exactly Shawshank we’re working with here, but if I were putting together a list of all the good prison movies ever made, _Lock Up_ would be on it.

_Final rating:★★★ – I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._

All you want from a Sly Stallone movie is right here.
Have to say right off that I can’t believe the low rating for this one here, because it delivers everything that a Stallone fan would want, if one is loading this into the player then surely they know what to expect?

Frank Leone (Sylvester Stallone) only has a few weeks to go before being released from prison, he is no hard core offender, he is a loving man and is ready for a new life with his gorgeous girlfriend Melissa (Darlanne Fluegel). During the night he is whisked away to a maximum security prison on the orders of a sadistic warden out for revenge because Leone was the only man to have ever escaped from his prison, thus setting in motion the wheels of revenge.

We then follow Leone as he is pushed to the limits by crazy warden Drumgoole (Donald Sutherland) and all the sadistic guards under his command. He also enlists the help of resident inmate beefcake Chink Weber (Sonny Landham), and they all in turn try to break Leone at all costs to ensure that he never leaves prison again. There certainly is nothing here that hasn’t been done before in the prison film genre, and only an idiot would expect anything other than the ending we get, but this is a Stallone movie and it’s full of guts, testo macho action, and it should be noted that Sly here puts some depth to the character of Leone. He garners our sympathy quite quickly, and considering the bloke is built like the proverbial brick outhouse, it’s quite an achievement.

The supporting players are a mixed bunch, this is Tom Sizemore’s first motion picture and he does really well with the character of Dallas, Sonny Landham is his usual scary menacing self, whilst Frank McRae as Eclipse does just enough right to make his mark. So it’s something of a surprise to me that the best actor on show is actually the film’s weak link. Donald Sutherland does overplay it to the point that he goes beyond pantomime villain, it’s a real teeth itching performance that he would only outdo with the dreadful Jamie Lee Curtis starrer, Virus, 10 years later, but in a film with such primal fun/action intentions, it doesn’t ruin the film and leaves it all told as a fine genre piece.

No awards here for sure, but when I watch a film about a man played by Sly Stallone in prison then I think I know what to expect, and it delivers all that I hoped for, so hooray for the beefcake I say. 7/10

Violent and mindless prison movie in which Stallone makes the most of a taylor-made character
A solid but flawed film with the great Sylvester Stallone as a peaceful con with only six months to go , as he’s is mistreated, harassed and tortured by a vicious prison warden who seeks for a merciless vengeance from an unexplained past conflict . As Stallone’s suddenly and cruelly transferred to a maximum security prison whose warden -Donald Sutherland, effectively cast against type and spits out hackneyed hateful with more conviction than it deserves- he made a fool of in more ways than one . Sly is pushed to the edge by a systematic campaign of harassment and beatings . How much can a man take…before he gives back? . Stallone…behind bars? Not for long. How many times can a man be pushed to the wall…before he goes over it? Get ready for a guided tour…of Hell on Earth. Welcome to Gateway…where every minute is hard time.

Decent prison thriller with thrills , chills , action , fights and suspenseful denouement .The plot is plain and simple , as a prisoner is only six months away from freedom , but being suddenly transferred to a maximum security hell-hole presided over by a sadistic warden obsessed with revenge who wants to take his future away . However , the story has gaps , flaws , but here really cares the tension , emotion and suspense . The mechanics of making a strong , hard-hitting and effectively exciting prison story , with all its stereotypes and cliches remain intact , and they’re what matter here . A professional entertainment and an entirely vehicle for a star . Sly is perfect in his usual style as the two-fisted inmate , the model prisoner with six months to serve , he does all that you could ask , and you can even understand some his dialogue . While Sutherland sporting a a fearsome haircut gives a nice acting as warden chief who exacts vengeance in retribution for a previous conflict . Donald is really effective as in quieter characters as a psycho. They’re well accompanied by a familiar cast from a gallery of multi-ethnic archetypes , such as : John Amos , Sonny Landham , Tom Sizemore , Frank McRae , William Allen Young , Larry Romano, Danny Trejo and Darlanne Fluegel as his girlfriend.

This well-made prison movie was decently directed with considerable kinetic power by John Flynn , though it contains some shortfalls and failures . Director John Flynn was a fine craftsman who gave magnificent performances to Tommy Lee Jones (Rolling Thunder), Jan Michael Vincent , James Woods (Bestseller), Robert Duvall (The Outfit) and here gave immense credibility to Sylvester Stallone as a tough inmate . Rating : Good, 6.5/10 , the result is a strong outing of the prison thriller sub-genre . Forget your worries , sit back and let those brain cells not by the day .
