One of the first novel concepts introduced in Doug Liman’s tossed-off, super slight, and interminably paced “Locked Down” pandemic-set heist/relationship movie that tells you a little bit about the central couple’s status is the “confession avalanche.” The rather unpleasant Linda (Anne Hathaway) and disagreeable, perhaps vaguely mentally-unwell Paxton (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are weeks into the pandemic in London (circa April, at the height of people losing their minds), both are in the throes of

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticWhile moviegoers cope with being shut indoors, HBO Max has a film that could have you feeling even more stir-crazy. “Locked Down” sequesters audiences for nearly two hours with an unhappy couple (played by Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor), who vent for a time, before hatching a plan to steal a huge diamond from Harrods.

Anne Hathaway is finally getting the correct name recognition. Earlier this week, the 38-year-old actress revealed on that she prefers to go by Annie and not what fans and the media have always called her, Anne.«The only person who calls me Anne is my mother and she only does it when she's really mad at me, like really mad,» the  star shared.

Anne Hathaway’s new movie, “Locked Down” was released on Thursday.

Doug Liman's “Locked Down,” one of the first and most ambitious films to be conceived and shot during the pandemic, is, like our own quarantine experiences, erratic, a little absurd and sporadically delightful.Unlike our time in quarantine, it has Chiwetel Ejiofor and Anne Hathaway. This, not a small difference, is crucial in “Locked Down," an energetic romantic comedy-slash-heist movie that makes a game entry into the emerging genre of COVID-19 movies.

Anne Hathaway paid a virtual visit to “Late Night with Seth Meyers” to promote her new HBO Max film “Locked Down”, a pandemic-set film that was made while she herself was in actual lockdown.

In the Doug Liman-directed Locked Down that premieres today on HBO Max, Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor play an estranged couple ready to call it quits if not for being shackled to their flat like every other Londoner by Covid.

The "Oceans 8" actress said as much on Tuesday evening’s episode of "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," where she told the comedian that hearing "Anne" from anyone other than her mother makes her rather uneasy.

Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor in are trapped indoors, left to grapple with their pandemic fears and frustrations while also dealing with being stuck together. But whereas others turned to baking sourdough bread or doing puzzles, Linda and Paxton hatch a plan to steal a diamond from a shutdown department store.
