Review of Unlocked

Unlocked (I) (2017)
7/10
2017? Is this Predictive Programming?
21 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Ok, I watched this movie in 2021. The characters are vaguely interesting, and of course familiar (Michael Douglas, John Malkovich--but they don't have major roles). What is peculiar about this film is that it could have been the same script as "Event 201--2019 to the present". After some time, we realize what the actual plot of the film is--to send virally infected Americans back from a U. S. type football game held in London, to infect the U. S. and thereby alert the 3 letter agencies how "ill prepared" the U. S. is for such an attack. Ill-prepared? Except for the fact that this plot is hatched by our usual squad--jihadis using some Soviet-developed virus, rather than what actually happened at the end of 2019. I think I wouldn't want to be the scriptwriter for this film. In fact, it is a sleeper, and a good example of predictive prgramming for film students.
