Reviews

Chicago Reader - Jonathan Rosenbaum
For torture and violence freaks, every clank and thud is duly and hyperbolically registered.

Empire - Unnamed
A hard-boiled version of Rocky, with enough anti-Balboa brutality to keep our interest.

Washington Post - Hal Hinson
The film is a sort of prison fantasy, in which all the most popular boys in the cellblock have a high time together, smoking cigarettes, working on cars and spraying each other with paint guns...All the while you're thinking, "What is this, ancient Greece?"

Washington Post - Unnamed
Put the whole movie down to cartoonery...This is a drive-in theater battle of wills between the forces of evil and the forces of good.

Variety - Unnamed
Lock Up is made in the same, simplistic vein as most other Sylvester Stallone pics - putting him, the blue-collar protagonist, against the odds over which he ultimately prevails.
