“The Lockdown” is now available on Digital. This is another action-packed film from Republic Pictures. This film like “Art of Eight Limbs” before it is part of an initiative to launch a new era of martial arts cinema.

You’ll recognize a lot of class martial arts tropes in “The Lockdown” that could result in some fun nostalgia that will take audiences back to those great films of the 80s and 90s.

A Chat With Leo Howard

With the release of “The Lockdown” on digital, I spoke with Leo Howard. One of the stars of the action-thriller. Howard tells us about his experience in making this film, which was done in a very classic way. Filming on location in an empty prison. Along with the actors all doing their own stunts. He shares with us his love for the genre and his experience in working with Caity Lotz. Its a great chat that you can check out below!
