With vanity projects like 1989's schlocky Lock Up to his credit, it's a wonder Sylvester Stallone survived to make some better movies in the '90s. This is a brutal dose of macho action that Stallone squeezed in between Rambo III and Rocky V, and his fans didn't seem to mind, so who's to judge? It's not as bad as Sly's other 1989 disaster (Tango & Cash), but you'd have to be demented, drunk, or have really low standards to call this a good movie. But if you're in a primal mood you'll get a kick out of this grimy flick, which would qualify as Z-grade exploitation if it weren't for Stallone's beefy presence as Frank Leone, a cooperative prisoner who's six months shy of parole when he's relocated to a hellhole called Gateway Prison. The wretched high-security facility is commandeered by Warden Drumgoole (Donald Sutherland), who is determined to settle an old score with Stallone ... and you can pretty much guess the rest. Director John Flynn didn't exactly distinguish himself with this one (he'd go on to direct forgettable fare like Out for Justice and Brainscan), but there's more visual style here than you might expect, and Sly manages to take it all so seriously that you can easily enjoy this gut buster as an unintentional comedy. --Jeff Shannon

Was not as good as I thaught it would be. Could have been better.

In Lockup, the old boy Sly Stallone, plays a prisoner named Frank Leone. Leone is without question the most beloved tragic figure in modern American cinema. He is a rough and tumble yet lovable parpadelle and brocolli eating machanic who remarks on a nice kiss from his girlfriend by simply saying "that's Italian." It doesn't really make any sense to us, either. But it makes sense to Leone, and that's just going to have to be good enough.
Anyway, Leone was originally arrested for beating ... Read More

This simply is the most underrated film stallone has ever done since the other most underrated stallone film before it over the top.Wonderfull film about frank leone who sits out his prison scentence quietly until donal sutherland transvers him to his prison with the goal to kill him.
Watch stallone play a nice guy who just tries to survive.And once again
bill conti delivers a perfect score for a stallone film.The music here is just perfect.

One of Stallone's best movies, where he stars as Frank, a convict on the verge of being a free man when he gets transferred to the worst possible prison imaginable. It turns out the warden of the prison he's been transferred to has a grudge against him and sought him out specifically. This movie is like the unbeatable 'Shawshank Redemption' with an action film twist. Donald Sutherland plays the demonic warden and is excellent as usual.
Along the way, Frank befriends many of his inmates and ... Read More

BEST PRISON DRAMA MOVIE
After Rocky 1, this is Stallone's BEST movie! (the reason why this is in my DVD collection)..
Anyone that can say that the Shawshank Redemption was a better prison drama, obviously wasn't watching this movie.
The movie shows the tough side and the human side to a man trying to make the best of a bad situation (in prison).
Stallone's brilliant performance highlights both these qualities.
There'll never be another Sylvester ... Read More
