Oh my word
simonpwalker4 March 2022
I've spent the last decade and a half in the belief that dragon wars was a watershed of bad films at a level that film makers would never again stoop, then this pile of rancid stupidity blew the lid off my belief.

Worst film ever!

At least Kevin Nash got paid...

Warning: Spoilers
This was once called COVID-19: Invasion.

And yes, that's Kevin Nash - the one-time Diesel, Vinnie Vegas and Oz - playing a man named Rex who leads a militia that is looking to murder the homeless people living in a deserted school in the hopes that it'll stop the newest and most deadly strain of COVID.

Director and writer Micah Lyons (The Runners) has created this story of a future that pretty much is tomorrow, which doesn't exactly make me happy, but here we are. I mean, if this movie is to be believed, by 2035 - just thirteen years from today - there will only be 29 million people left on Earth. Rex asks his son Justin to look up the perfect man to lead the mission to kill off the street people, a former soldier named Hap Rollins, who refuses. Except that Hap soon realizes that his sister Courtney is living in that school and will be targeted by the militia.

With a tagline like "If COVID doesn't kill you, they will," you kind of know what you're getting into with this movie. I'd like to think that this isn't how the world will go, but when I see the intolerance on both sides of the fight, it makes me realize that I probably should be loading up on the kidney beans like Hap and his wife.

I really want Kevin Nash to do more movies, because he's an engaging personality and lots of fun. He just needs a role that uses his natural good humor and coolness to better advantage. He's really good in the few minutes of screentime that he has, so hopefully he gets more of a chance to stretch soon.

As bad as you would expect it to be...

Right, well a movie that is also known as "Covid-19 Invasion" just doesn't really come off to a great start. However, I opted to sit down and watch the 2021 movie "Lockdown" (aka "Covid-19 Invasion") as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen. And maybe, however unlikely though, then writer and director Micah Lyons might actually surprise with this movie.

But Micah Lyons didn't surprise with this movie. "Lockdown" was every bit the heap of rubbish that I had expected it to be, and then some. Talk about a pointless storyline, flaccid and one-dimensional characters, and a bland dialogue. And then there were the special effects, well, they were 'special' alright.

"Lockdown" is a bad movie in every aspect, believe you me. And it isn't even one of those type of movies that are so bad that it is fun and enjoyable to watch. Nay, "Lockdown" is just downright bad.

I wasn't familiar with the cast here, aside from being vaguely familiar with Kevin Nash. I do enjoy seeing new faces and talents on the screen when I watch movies, but the actors and actresses in "Lockdown" just didn't have a snowballs chance in Hell, because everything about this movie was just doomed before it was off of the ground.

Do yourself a favor, and stay well clear of "Lockdown". Some of us suffered through this garbage, so you don't have to.

My rating of "Lockdown" lands on a generous one out of ten stars.

Yikes Ill conceived and poorly done
supermellowcali3 February 2022
Not a great story idea: "Let's kill the homeless people cuz they're the problem." Let's start with the global population decimated and every life is more important than ever. Rebuilding would be the priority. The flawed thinking runs through the entire movie without much sense and no original ideas. Yawn. Skip.

156 views??

That seems like a lot... It certainly deserves less views than this.

As for the rating, I put 2 stars, because I've seen worse. I mean, there is an exploding car at the end. That is the extra star.

Worst movie ever made?
psxexperten15 February 2022
This movie is insanely terrible.

1 Star. I would give 0 Stars, but the rating system won't allow it.

Stay away from this crap at all cost. Written bye amateurs, filmed by retards and actors from a mental institution?

If the writer/director funded this himself, then it is a good example of why people with money should not be allowed to waste everyone's time with boring, uninspired trash like this.

I am honestly so shocked at how bad this movie was, that I won't even bother explaining it. Story was horrible, acting was horrible, effects were horrible, and the list goes on.

Anyone who gives this movie over 1 star was either a part of the movie, related to someone in the movie, or paid to rate it highly. Period.

This is a typical f-rated movie. The best way to watch is with the sound down while wearing a blind fold.

Bad, super bad
briandabel-7261627 October 2022
Bad acting, not one honest actor or emotion in this movie. The actors were completely bland like human cardboard. Bad direction. Bad production. Bad effects....ketchup for blood....that's a 3rd grade effort.

The Storyline looked like it had potential but it could not survive the amateurs at all levels. The acting and production of this movie makes a Lifetime movie look like a mega million dollar blockbuster. I'd rather have a bad case of diarrhea than watch this again.

Don't waste your time. Don't even waste your money. I feel bad for everyone who invested time in this soulless production. Three thumbs down....

It was not good
cpiro-6548513 February 2022
No real foundation which I would blame on the director. I'm still trying to see what they saw cause I wouldn't have never released this of put my name on it. No sense of pride in at all. Take it back.

I am not sick

Warning: Spoilers
Hap (David D. Ford) and his wife (Brooke Lyons) manage to get along in 2035 with most of the world's population dead from COVID. Rex has decided that not enough people have died to keep his family safe so he decides to ride to town and kill everyone there, which includes Hap's sister. Hap decides to help her out.

Not a very good story. The killing didn't make sense. The end claims this was filmed on a micro-budget. In one scene Courtney (Stephanie Kae Smith) who is being hunted walks right by a door talking to her brother while a gas-masked hunter is standing visibly in the doorway. This is a rookie mistake and should have been caught and corrected in editing.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Well
nolanblais29 October 2022
Oh my word the script and the choppy crappy editing does the actors so bad. Kevin Nash (the only bright spot of the movie) seemed good. He had a really good tone seemed cool and played the ill conceived roll well. Can't say that for the other actors. This is all not to mention the crappy editing that has things escalating so quickly. One minute they're joking about stuff, one second later jump scare and now they're about to die. It sounds like the director came up with this terrible idea for a movie. Wrote a terrible script, got mostly okay actors (except Kevin nash love you Kevin), edited the movie on an iPad and got paid. Don't waste your time unless you're looking for something to watch for a laugh or to make fun of.
