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.

By injecting a steady sense of fun, this slick but mindless action thriller both holds the attention and keeps the audience entertained, even when things get very silly indeed.

A serviceable thriller, until Orlando Bloom shows up as a mysterious ex-military bruiser with a Cockney accent and things go sideways, fast.

There's stuff in this spy thriller that's fresh, and lots that's familiar, but Noomi Rapace using her brains and brawn to fight bad guys is a genuine thrill.

The topical Europe-hopping plot includes a reasonable amount of action. But the film is unevenly paced, predictably plotted and the moments of broad humour dilute the under-powered tension.

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

John Malkovich enjoys hamming it up as her exasperated boss. Everybody else is taking this silly pot-boiler far too seriously.

With an action-fuelled trailer and an all-star cast, Unlocked showed a lot of early promise. However, the reality of the situation is quite the contrary.

Release schedule filler.

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.
May 05, 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 TV outing.
May 05, 2017
Unlocked rattles along pacily enough, but at the advanced age of 76 the director ought to know by now that when you can't trust anyone in a film, you stop trusting the film itself.
