Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticWhile moviegoers cope with being shut indoors, HBO Max has a film that could have you feeling even more stir-crazy. “Locked Down” sequesters audiences for nearly two hours with an unhappy couple (played by Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor), who vent for a time, before hatching a plan to steal a huge diamond from Harrods.

Anne Hathaway gets a much needed release from the stress of quarantine in HBO Max’s Locked Down. On Thursday’s episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers, Hathaway talked with the host about her unique experience filming the heist movie in the midst of a pandemic.

One of the first novel concepts introduced in Doug Liman’s tossed-off, super slight, and interminably paced “Locked Down” pandemic-set heist/relationship movie that tells you a little bit about the central couple’s status is the “confession avalanche.” The rather unpleasant Linda (Anne Hathaway) and disagreeable, perhaps vaguely mentally-unwell Paxton (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are weeks into the pandemic in London (circa April, at the height of people losing their minds), both are in the throes of existential self-annihilation and have decided to part ways after the COVID-19 epidemic is over.

Anne Hathaway’s new movie, “Locked Down” was released on Thursday.

Anne Hathaway paid a virtual visit to “Late Night with Seth Meyers” to promote her new HBO Max film “Locked Down”, a pandemic-set film that was made while she herself was in actual lockdown.

EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is teaming up with The Batman writer-director Matt Reeves’ 6th & Idaho and Burn director Mike Gan on the Black List survival thriller previously known in industry circles as Dead Of Winter.

Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor in are trapped indoors, left to grapple with their pandemic fears and frustrations while also dealing with being stuck together. But whereas others turned to baking sourdough bread or doing puzzles, Linda and Paxton hatch a plan to steal a diamond from a shutdown department store.

Perhaps there’ll come a time a few years from now, once the bludgeoning monotony of pandemic confinement has (hopefully) become a fading memory, when the claustrophobic agitation of Doug Liman's smugly self-satisfied heist thingamajig, Locked Down, could be vaguely amusing. Or not.

Watch Video: 'Locked Down' Trailer: Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor Steal a Diamond to Pass Time in COVIDAn utter coincidence happens: Paxton gets rehired to drive goods from London department stores out to storage in the countryside, while Linda is tasked by her superior (Ben Stiller) with taking a diamond that her company has had on display at Harrod’s and shipping it to New York, where its unsavory buyer will keep it locked away in a vault.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIt was likely, if not downright inevitable, that in the year of our lockdown, somebody would make a drama called “Locked Down,” about a handful of people in lockdown. The director Doug Liman and the screenwriter Steven Knight conceived their movie on July 1, sold it in September and had completed shooting it, in London, by the end of October.

© @Copyright HELLO! Hello! Magazine Anne Hathaway thought long and hard before sharing her latest post on Instagram, admitting it felt "strange" to be promoting her new film Locked Down during the pandemic. The actress, who stars opposite Chiwetel Ejiofor in the comedy, said she hoped that her post – a promotional poster of the movie – wouldn't be taken the wrong way.
