5.0 out of 5 stars Derek from Johannesburg , November 7, 2004
This review is from: LOCK UP (DVD)(SENSORMATIC)MASTERED/SPAN SUB/DOLBY SURROUND/INTERATIVE MENUS (DVD)
BEST PRISON DRAMA MOVIE

After Rocky 1, this is Stallone's BEST movie! (the reason why this is in my DVD collection)..

Anyone that can say that the Shawshank Redemption was a better prison drama, obviously wasn't watching this movie.

The movie shows the tough side and the human side to a man trying to make the best of a bad situation (in prison).
Stallone's brilliant performance highlights both these qualities.

There'll never be another Sylvester Stallone - only modern-day imitations..

5.0 out of 5 stars It's STALLONE for crying out loud!!!, February 5, 2003
This review is from: LOCK UP (DVD)(SENSORMATIC)MASTERED/SPAN SUB/DOLBY SURROUND/INTERATIVE MENUS (DVD)
Ok, so the guy who did the Amazon.com Editorial review calls the people who enjoy this movie demented, drunk, or having really low standards. Who says you have to take the movie seriously...just enjoy it; I think we all realize that what happens in this movie would never happen in real life, and that's what makes it so cool. I say Lock Up is one of Stallone's more memorable movies for me although it is one of his lesser known roles. This movie probably wouldn't be good if it were played by anyone other than Stallone, but it isn't so it's great. Stallone plays Frank Leone, a man serving a short and normal prison sentence, when he is suddenly and inexplicably sent to Gateway, a hell-hole of a prison, with the evil Warden Drumgoole in charge, played very well by Donald Sutherland. Drumgoole employs a bully named Chink, (played by Sonny Landham) to make sure Leone's time at Gateway is as unpleasant as possible. The most memorable moment in the film for me is when Leone goes after Chink when he crosses the line. On the front of the DVD one critic states, "A surprisingly human film." I must agree. You really start to feel for Frank Leone after he is given such a hard time, and you want to see him exact his revenge like only Stallone can.

Stallone just has a certain aura about him, ya know? Like he's almost not human, with larger-than-life characters like Rocky and Rambo in his name, but something more...maybe I am just, demented...but I think a lot of Stallone fans know exactly what I mean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lock Up Is The Best!, December 20, 2001
By nix "nixlal" (Wellington, New Zealand (Nicholas Lal)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: LOCK UP (DVD)(SENSORMATIC)MASTERED/SPAN SUB/DOLBY SURROUND/INTERATIVE MENUS (DVD)
Lock Up is the best Sly Stallone film ever! If you want to watch a prison film which is emotional. This is it! OR even if you just want to watch a film. Frank Leone meets the infamous Drumgoole again and is put in a 'hell-hole' prison. A real prison actually, one of the worst in the world. Leone becomes friends with other people who have made mistakes in the past. There's a football match in the mud. Trivia: Stallone nearly broke his leg in the match. It was a rough game. The hardest shot in the film. The film is packed. Truly great and at the top of my list. Get the DVD, it even makes the film better! The picture quality and sound quality are great! I don't know what the DVD reviewer was watching when they rated this. Evryting is good. I love the Bill Conti music which is emotional. And Ever Since The World Began by Jimi Jamison.
