After a diamond heist takes a fatal turn, a pair of thieves must entrust their fortune with an accomplice at a high-tech storage facility while they lay low. Hiding the goods within the labyrinth of storage units, the thieves’ inside man pays the ultimate price when he turns against them. Now, hellbent on recovering the missing stones, they seize the facility and kidnap surviving employee Maggie (MENA SUVARI), threatening her family unless she helps them. Locked in with nowhere to run, Maggie’s only chance to escape alive is to fight back and stay one step ahead of her captors in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

VIDEO – 3½/5, AUDIO – 4/5

Paramount releases Locked In on DVD presented with a 16×9 enhanced 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio. Some parts, especially aerial shots, do look washed out but otherwise this looks fine for standard definition. The included Dolby Digital 5.1 track is a tad heavy at times but dialogue comes across well enough and there is some okay depth for the more action-oriented scenes.
