I am a big fan of prison film's as well as the television series "Oz", which is probably the best show on tv, and I have to say that LOCK UP is better than people say. It's not gripping like "Oz" and not a classic like THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION but it's good no-brainer entertainment. Stallone fit his role well, and I like John Amos as the chief prison guard. Donald Sutherland was okay but he's had better roles. I enjoyed the fight scene's and the football game as well.
Overall, a pretty good prison film that is good entertainment. 3.5/5
