The Locksmith (I) (2023)
7/10
Very Good Thriller
9 March 2023
Miller Graham (Ryan Phillippe) is released from Prison after 10-yrs for a crime he did commit with his best friend Kevin (George Akram). He wants to go straight and do right by his daughter Lindsay (Madeleine Guilbot). However, Kevin's sister April (Gabriela Quezada) wants Miller to help her get out of the crutches of Real Estate bad guy Garrett Field (Charlie Weber) who runs girls and abuses them.

This will keep you on the edge of your seat as you watch Miller decide what to do. His friend Frank (Ving Rhames) who owns a Locksmith shop cautions Miller not to get involved, but Miller will. You knew that, right?

Notables: Kate Bosworth as Detective Beth Fisher, who is also the former fiancé of Miller; Tom Wright as Chief Stone; Jeffrey Nordling as Lieutenant Zwick who originally set Miller up 10-yrs ago; Noel Gugliemi as Det Perez, a bad cop under Lt Zwick; Bourke Floyd as bad cop Jones also under Lt Zwick; Kaylee Bryant as Tanya, friend of April; and Livia Trevino as Sharon, Miller's Parole Officer.

This has very good pacing and for a while as you watch Miller you have no idea how he is going to get out of all this. There are a few twists and turns to make things more interesting. And, yes, you hope there are some good cops in here.
