Lock Up

It's a good movie, don't know why the low score, it's not the best performance by Stallone but it's not the worst also. It's a solid 7 stars (I count half stars too) and wish the rating system had half stars too to distinguish a lot of movies.

I LOVED this movie!!! I was expecting a gritty action movie with 90% meaningless fight scenes but it was so beautiful. Right from the start, you meet Stallone's character accompanied by beautiful music from Bill Conti and within 5 minutes I cared about him. Giving that background information and showing what he fights for made all the difference. So many heartwarming moments, if you'll believe it. Sort of like some beautiful scenes in Shawshank Redemption. I was certain I wouldn't like this movie much but instead I got a movie I'll most certainly rewatch a bunch of times. It helps ofcourse that I love prison movies for some weird reason. I would really recommend to try this movie despite the average rating on IMDb, I got something completely different than what I expected and that worked out amazing for me.
