During a COVID-19 lockdown, sparring couple Linda and Paxton call a truce to attempt a high-risk jewellery heist at one of the world’s most exclusive department stores, Harrods.
"The new coronavirus pandemic has caused profound changes in social behavior throughout its course, between 2020 and 2021, with direct effects on relationships, families and work relationships -- in addition to the effects of tragic deaths during this period. Filmmaker Doug Liman, of 'Edge of Tomorrow' and 'The Bourne Identity', decided to take a different look at this social isolation and social changes in 'Locked Down': from an action movie, focusing on a robbery. In the plot, the viewer is introduced to the story of Linda and Paxton (Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor), who used to have a great relationship. However, with the marriage crumbling, they are forced to stay in the same house in the middle of the covid-19 quarantine. Together, they devise a robbery that may, or may not, save the relationship. Liman's direction to tell this story is a bit confusing and tedious at times -- it's understandable who can't get to the end. However, there is good chemistry between Hathaway and Ejiofor, unlike 'Malcolm & Marie', which also bet on an intimate plot, in the middle of the quarantine, to talk about a couple. It's a strange movie, even clumsy, but it brings a different look to this strange and troubled period in world history. Just turn off your mind and enjoy."
