An uneven but satisfying hostage crisis thriller that is also a perfect example of the type of late-period films martial arts star Jackie Chan has decided to make after entering middle age. - 50
The A.V. Club
Instead of a claustrophobic thriller à la "Die Hard" or "The Raid," Lockdown is a kind of puzzle-box movie, but it hardly seems worth the effort, for the filmmakers or for the audience. Ol’ Jackie needn’t have bothered getting up for this. - 50
Los Angeles Times
The engaging plot gets a bit absurd toward the end. - 40
The Dissolve
Lockdown is mostly a humorless bore until the obligatory bloopers and outtakes in the end credits—and even those are drawing from a flat vein, since there’s so little play in the movie. - 25
Slant Magazine
The film's subtitle is apropos, as this is a decidedly locked-down and lead-footed talk-o-rama.
