Reviews

Lock Out received mixed reviews from critics upon its release. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.8/10. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes noted that while Kim Tae-ri's performance was commendable, the film's overall execution fell short of its potential. One critic from Metacritic remarked, 'Kim Tae-ri brings a brooding intensity to her role, but the script doesn't give her enough to work with.' Another review from The Korea Herald praised the film’s suspenseful atmosphere: 'Lock Out successfully maintains tension throughout, although some plot elements feel overly familiar.' However, some reviewers felt the movie's pacing hindered its impact. On Film Aggregate, a user stated, 'The storyline had promise, but the slow pacing and predictable turns made it less thrilling.' Despite the critiques, Kim Tae-ri's performance was universally acknowledged as a highlight, bringing depth and nuance to an otherwise uneven film. The film’s ability to create a gripping atmosphere with its cinematography and score was also mentioned positively in several reviews.
