Locked Down

What's it about?

Locked Down tells the story of London couple (Paxton and Linda) who, despite having ended their 10-year relationship, are forced to live together due to COVID-19 restrictions. Delivery driver Paxton is despondent about his limited career opportunities whilst regional CEO Linda is conflicted over the amoral direction of her company. A fortunate set of coincidences gives them an opportunity for a fresh start but only if they steal a diamond worth millions.

What to expect

Locked Down is a film that melds together a topical relationship drama with a heist film. It deals with adult angst and is therefore unlikely to interest children. There are references to sex, violence and suicide, but these are all brief and limited in impact. Some drug use is framed in an unappealing manner that is unlikely to be replicated by young and impressionable viewers. The colloquial use of highly offensive language, whilst fairly regular, is also unlikely to cause serious or long-term harm to younger viewers. Locked Down is therefore classified as unrestricted, with a recommendation it is more suitable for mature audiences.
