Unlocked - Rating: * *

With a cast of big named Hollywood actors like Orlando Bloom, Micheal Douglas and John Malkovich you would be forgiven for thinking that this film would be an entertaining action packed spy thriller....you would be wrong. Unlocked lacks any kind of major punch with a story that couldn't even pass for a decent midweek ITV mini-drama.

The film follows CIA operative Alice who is tricked into interrogating a known terrorist into  revealing the whereabouts of a deadly virus. On the run she teams up with a former solider Jack (Orlando Bloom) in a race against time to save London.

The film has an interesting premise, and if this was a more US based film could have maybe been a little more interesting but what Unlocked lacks is a likeable cast of characters, and decent action. Most of the shoot outs and chase scenes are slow, the action is clumpy and dull and the acting is sub par. Bloom does a great London accent but that is about it. Douglas is in the film for a a minute at best and Noomi Rapace is terrible. Her acting is very droll and in all honesty it could have been done much better but a better, yet maybe lesser known, British actress instead.

Is you are looking for a compelling spy thriller then turn away now, this one really isn't a buy you should be making. Wait till Netfilx.
