Directed by Allan Ungar1h 54m2016
Former SWAT leader David Hendrix and hard-partying movie star Brody Walker must cut their ride-along short when a police training facility is attacked by a team of mercenaries.
Our read: Gridlocked (2016) reads as a sombre, breathless, grounded action entry — extreme in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Sombre, breathless, extreme action, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured.
