Locked (2025), directed by David Yarovesky, is a psychological thriller that delves into themes of justice, redemption, and the consequences of one’s actions. The film follows Eddie Barrish, portrayed by Bill Skarsgård, a desperate thief who breaks into a luxury SUV, only to find himself trapped inside. The vehicle’s owner, William Larsen (Anthony Hopkins), a terminally ill doctor turned vigilante, has rigged the car with high-tech security measures to punish intruders. As Eddie struggles to escape, he endures a series of torturous ordeals, including electrocution, extreme temperatures, and psychological manipulation, all orchestrated by William, who monitors him remotely.

Throughout the film, the dynamic between Eddie and William evolves, revealing deeper layers of their characters. Eddie’s initial desperation gives way to introspection and a desire for redemption, especially concerning his relationship with his daughter, Sarah. William, driven by the loss of his own daughter to street violence, sees his actions as a form of twisted justice. The narrative builds tension as Eddie attempts to outwit his captor, leading to a climactic confrontation that challenges both characters’ perceptions of morality and justice. Locked is a gripping tale that examines the blurred lines between victim and perpetrator, and the lengths one will go to seek atonement.
