Lock Up (1989)

Movie Reviews (part 6) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: Brainless prison movie where Sly has to get even with a evil and corrupt warden (played by Donald Sutherland in his sleep) that wants to ruin his life.

After when that's done, Frank and his girlfriend, Melissa, engage in a different kind of lock-up. After when that's done, a small series of unconvincing happy scenes follow which is supposed to be Frank's happy little life. But as a long t"
